Actually I may have just found another useful clue.

I was browsing a very old forum thread of mine (posted under a lost account
"Quartz") and noticed the problem happening to messages there also:
https://news.povray.org/povray.advanced-users/thread/%3Cweb.4e5f0af057ee503f2b8e18870%40news.povray.org%3E/?mtop=424594
&moff=10

What's telling here is that:
1. I don't remember experiencing this problem back then, and
2. The conversation seems to acknowledge the missing portions of the messages,
as if they were still visible at the time

At least for that old thread, I feel like this points toward the problem being
merely on output/display, i.e. that the messages still exist intact in the
website's storage.

I'm not sure if that logic applies equally to new messages posted today, but
there it is
