So... What the hell happened to the Forums?

[Hiro]

I've had that happen in a couple of subscribed threads, seems like a post was created but then deleted (or never uploaded fully) so it stays unread (as the "new" post never gets seen, and therefore never trips the "read" flag).

In those cases I've usually unsubscribed from the thread and then come back to it later (usually after someone else has posted in it) or just done a new post which seems to make the problem go away (but that phantom post never actually appears)

Hmm.. interesting.

The loading thing is still happening though.

(when editing posts)

[Lambolica]

Just as I suspected, Vito is the cause of the problems.

Can a forum catch fire?

[tomvale13]

He asks, whilst being surrounded by flames..

[Hiro]

In other news though, I've cleaned out my cache on the work computer and the MyFileStore / URL123 bugs seem to have gone too

[Lambolica]

Keep a Tab on that as I feel it may come back again.

it often happens with long threads and the system somehow cannot handle a single post onto a new page.
try adding a new post to the 86 thread?

[Hiro]

Last two times it happened to me they weren't long threads, nor were they the first post on a new page

[MR22ZZ]

But did you try as suggested....

Anyway, guess what... Ta da... Fixed.
As thought Vito's post was in limbo hung between pages for some reason.

[Lambolica]

Google search indicates that it may be an issue with VB not playing with the version of PHP on the server.

I've noticed also that there are people making posts 3 days in the future?!?

[oldcorollas]

thread updates (daily) are being sent out in afternoon? GMT thing?

[Lambolica]

Either GMT or a setting default changed with the upgrade?

Do you have a preference for delivery? I'm not sure when they used to go out.

[oldcorollas]

me either I think they went out at AUs midnight.. maybe just my settings.. doesn't really matter, jut a noticed change
