I constantly see threads seemingly disappear from the list for several minutes before reappearing again. For example, I post something on Zanzibar and after a slight delay I see it on page 1 of the forum. I'll go to page 2 and back to page 1...and my thread is no longer there. So I check page 2...it's not there either. I know by the timestamps that it should be on a certain page but it's clearly not. Yet another minute or two later, it's back again.

What the heck is going on?

I think I found my own answer. There's a bug in these forums. Sometimes when I go to a forum I see twice as many posts on page 1 than other times. Moments ago, New Mombasa had only 11 posts on the first page...ending at 9:45am. Page 2 STARTED with 9:20am. There were 20 mins worth of posts unviewable because page 1 was getting truncated. The page looks complete, the graphics are intact...yet all the messages are not included. I'm noticing that MOST of the time, I'm not seeing all of page 1.

..and I can't get to page 3 and beyond on this forum, The Underground. It claims no topics found, even though there are links at the top and bottom claiming there are many more pages of topics available.

I'm surprised this thread has gotten no replies. Everyone complains about no search function (which IS lame) but even the most basic functions of this thing don't work right!

Edit your posts, don't post one message after another... The dissapearing posts problem has been around for a while. If you refresh the page sometimes the posts come back, but not always.

Does an edit bump the post back to the top of the list? I assumed not and since the awkwardness of these forums results in dozens upon dozens of new topics being created every few minutes instead of actual conversations in real, organized threads you're forced to reply to yourself just to stay afloat among the masses.
