Database Error on the Circle

Something is wrong with the FM database on the circle, which means we also loose access to the review pages as well.

Displacing the missions in ascending order with 16 missions per page, I see where pages 3-5 result in an loading error.

Compare
(http://thief-thecircle.com/missions/mission.asp?type=thief&type2=thief2&type3=thiefgold&which=fm&sort=date_a&pagenum=6&numperpage=16)
to
(http://thief-thecircle.com/missions/mission.asp?type=thief&type2=thief2&type3=thiefgold&which=fm&sort=date_a&pagenum=3&numperpage=16)

My guess is there are several entries in the database that have errors that prevent those mission entries being displayed, which results in any attempts to display a set of entries that include that entry causes an internal error. Based on an examination of the pages that cause the issue, it appears to be several missions released between October 99 and July 2000.

Could anyone assigned to handle Thief-TheCircle technical maintenance look into this issue?

Thank you!

OH Hey! I found the mission that causes one of the database issues: Unforgiven

It appears that any page including search results that includes the Unforgiven mission entry results in an internal database error.

Good catch - that problem has likely been lurking there for quite some time. Should now be fixed.

:D Thank you so much!

I wish I had mentioned this issue before... I think it has been there since the mid-2010s.

In the timescales of this place that's actually quite recent :)
