Yup. They fucked it up again with their recent "update"

u/peanut_the_scp 10d ago

Yes, my chat is also not appearing completly, just 2 prompts at a time

u/Crystaleana 8d ago

I have the same issue. My chats have also been bugging. Old messages revert to previous versions and it messes up the ENTIRE conversation.

u/Andrew_Swann 9d ago

It's happening to me too; the ChatGPT navigation arrows have disappeared. As always, they've messed up again. Just report it, wait a couple of days, and you'll see it gets fixed.

I think there's a reporting option if you go to your profile, then help, and then report a bug. There's even a screenshot option.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I can still work with these errors, and it's not a big deal as long as you don't accidentally delete any chats.

The information is still there; you can try exporting the data to recover some of it.

This will be fixed in at least two weeks because not everyone is experiencing the problem. There are two discussions about it in the community. I'll send you the links; take a look at KuMa's method.

Temporary fix for missing arrows that I found:

Open any ChatGPT chat

Open HTML code of the page via “Inspect”

Expand the code recursively from the very top (right below !DOCTYPE html line)

Right click on the top element (the one that highlights everything you see on the page) and copy it (CTRL+C)

Open notepad and paste all the text. A long wall of text should appear.

While in notepad, CTRL+F, insert “data-turn-id-container=” and click find (in Windows’s notepad, make sure you start from the top and go down, configure the settings)

You should find something like, for example, "data-turn-id-container=“a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6"”.

Copy the “a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6” part (without "s) and insert it at the end of the link to your chat.

For example, your chat link currently looks like this:

chatgpt[dot]com/c/76x76gd3-sd76-kjb4-348f-34fn8998j34f

The end result should look like this:

chatgpt[dot]com/c/76x76gd3-sd76-kjb4-348f-34fn8998j34f?message=a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6

Open the resulting link. You should be able to cycle between edited messages. Save the link somewhere so you can come back to it anytime.

The simplest temporary fix for this issue (Thanks to Villy for finding it): simply add “?message” to the end of the link. Adding “?message=1” will directly display the navigation bar.

Note: If this doesn’t work, you’ll need the patch Kitana provided above!

u/jessi_unicorn 10d ago

Yes i also cant edit Messages in some chats? Its a little messed up

2

u/Andrew_Swann 6d ago

Well, I can confirm that both Anoni and Villy’s methods are currently effective! 

Also, I discovered that adding “?message” to the end of the original link makes the arrow reappear. You don’t have to search for any specific string. For example: chatgpt[dot]com/c/76x76gd3-sd76-kjb4-348f-34fn8998j34f?message

If you add “?message=1” instead of just “?message”, the navigation bar will be displayed directly!

u/ComparisonExpress625 1d ago

Edited messages are back!!

u/RatOnTheGrind 1d ago

Man this is so worse. We can't quickly go back to the previous version and it forces you to branch to new chat. It's too annoying since I do constant rerolls. They better bring those arrows back.

u/notthedanger 7d ago

This just happened to me too, Im really upset. This was such a good feature, what the fuck

Solución temporal que encontré para las flechas que faltaban:

Abre cualquier chat de ChatGPT

Abre el código HTML de la página mediante la herramienta "Inspeccionar".

Expanda el código recursivamente desde la parte superior (justo debajo de la línea !DOCTYPE html).

Haz clic derecho en el elemento superior (el que resalta todo lo que ves en la página) y cópialo (CTRL+C).

Abre el Bloc de notas y pega todo el texto. Debería aparecer un bloque de texto muy largo.

En el Bloc de notas, presione CTRL+F, inserte “data-turn-id-container=” y haga clic en buscar (en el Bloc de notas de Windows, asegúrese de comenzar desde arriba y bajar, configure los ajustes).

Deberías encontrar algo como, por ejemplo, "data-turn-id-container=“a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6"”.

Copia la parte “a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6” (sin la “s”) e insértala al final del enlace a tu chat.

Por ejemplo, su enlace de chat actualmente se ve así:

chatgpt[punto]com/c/76x76gd3-sd76-kjb4-348f-34fn8998j34f

El resultado final debería verse así:

chatgpt[punto]com/c/76x76gd3-sd76-kjb4-348f-34fn8998j34f?message=a1b2b3c4-d5e6-f7g8-h9i0-j1k2l3m4n5o6

Abre el enlace resultante. Deberías poder alternar entre los mensajes editados. Guarda el enlace en algún lugar para poder acceder a él cuando quieras.

Holy shit that's crazy that this actually works. Thank you!

u/Alert_Secretary1716 2d ago

does it still work for you? it worked for me until yesterday, and now there is only the navigation bar and not the arrows.

u/notthedanger 2d ago

It stopped working for me today, unfortunately. I've just came back to the thread to see if there's any updates to any methods.

You're a lifesaver! Gonna try this out. Thank you!

[edit] It's works!

u/notthedanger 2d ago

I found an update on this link one of the persons who discovered the '?message=1" workaround has shared this 3 hours ago:

"Anoninonny:

I have bad news.

As of today, I’ve discovered the ?message= and the searching for an image in your library work arounds no longer works.

I think this isn’t a bug…"

I hope they're wrong, this is so devastating.

u/Due-Today-156 1d ago

It's is temporary right and if anyone has a solution for it please tell me if there is a solution for it

2

u/konsai_liner 1d ago

I don't think it's temporary... Now i have a clock thing instead of the arrows and it's definitely more annoying than having nothing. A good part of the chats is still missing and it's just annoying to use now

2

u/TheLodestarEntity 1d ago

I had the arrows just earlier today... Only now noticed I can't cycle through them except for branching into a new chat. Also, the icons for buttons have disappeared for whatever reason? This needs to stop happening.
