Possibly not... Could you elaborate?

If there is a spike in traffic it is possible that some tables or table rows get locked.

You can repair your db's tables through phpMyAdmin or a similar application. You can also ask your hosting provider about specific instructions for your setup.

PS. Backup the database first :)

thanks again for your help with this, but i just don't think that's the problem...

the site isn't even live yet... so not much traffic other than myself and the tech helping me add articles.

it feels like a problem within K2 itself... going back to the original problem...

some of the articles show just fine (45/50) and some of them turned up blank (5 of them)... i even added another one as a test, and it worked fine...?

it's so bizarre.

just not sure what's happening. maybe i'll try a different editor? (currently using JCE)

thanks again,

Let me know how that went.

i tried all the other editors, copy/pasted the code from the "trouble items" into new items, and they all seemed to work.

even going back to JCE, everything is working.

just a glitch? perhaps. still don't know what happened.

Let's hope it was just a temp glitch.
If that happens again let me know.
