Is the new site formatting hiding question content?

I've noticed a fair number of changes around the site look and feel lately. I've also noticed that some questions aren't showing up correctly. For example: http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/105880/how-to-correlate-sql-statementsrpc-calls-with-spec.html simply shows no content at all, even though the question is there and has been answered (I know, because it was one of my own questions)

Interestingly, I just searched for your question and the preview text appears there, which implies the content still exists. I too get no results when going to the question however, in either Chrome or IE. http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/search.html?redirect=&q=how+to+correlate+sql+statementsrpc+calls+with+spec&Submit=Search&type=question

@Dave_Green That is consistent with what I am seeing in both IE10 and Firefox 24. So it does not appear to be a browser issue.

This also seems to be resolved.

Looking at the source code, the content isn't on the page. I don't know why this is, but there's nothing in the new theme that should be able to break it. That question was heavily spammed, so it's possible that it was automatically removed due to a large amount of flagged content. I can't be 100% on this though.

@DaveC - Another question seems to be suffering with the same issue here - http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/108000/stored-procedures-help.html - is it possible there is a pattern? This is a more recent question than that referred to in the original question, so it would be good to confirm that there isn't an ongoing issue.

Hmm - here's another one, http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/108009/if-then-else-in-stored-procedure.html - which is even more recent, and currently showing on the main Questions list near the top.

I actually edited the question content on each of these questions (formatted the code) even though I could not view the question content using the direct edit link - .../questions/108009/edit.html and .../questions/108000/edit.html I was hoping the edit would help the question display. The content displayed perfectly on the edit page, but was still not visible after the edit was complete.

Well the original question and answers were certainly not spam, and were in fact quite useful - I would hope that the spam filter would just remove the spamming user, not the actual useful content...

Not something we have control over. The site runs on a hosted platform.
