My master timeline in which all events are entered is 'History of Camoray'.

Today when I loaded it, all entries were gone. Checking other timelines, entries were present, and when I checked connections - 'History of Camoray' was still listed as a connection. However, nothing would show up on 'History of Camoray' when I was in that timeline.


I added a single entry to 'History of Camoray'. Now all connections of that timeline have disappeared except for the single entry I just made. Because there were entries made with no connections except for 'History of Camoray' that means there should be orphan entries somewhere.

Steps to Reproduce

Loaded timeline today. Upon loading, no entries showing.

Hey, is this still happening for you?

Our service provider Cloudflare was under maintenance which caused some issues for our website during the time of your report - this has been resolved and everything should work as normal now, but let me know if this unrelated!

All connections to 'History of Camoray' are still missing. (As this was the master timeline, all entries were created in this timeline and as such, had that connection). I am assuming the data was lost due to a corrupted element, possibly from the Cloudfare maintenance you mentioned. For now, the value added of timelines is not worth the days spent creating all the entries, so I don't plan on pursuing further exploration of this feature by going back and repeating the effort.

For now I was reporting it in case it helps you resolve future issues for other users. Thank you for you quick response and thank you for all the work you do to make World Anvil as a whole awesome.
