Nothing is wrong. Sometimes after executing several moderation actions one after another, the forum's index count gets messed up. This means the pager and the number of topics are wrong. Now, for performance reasons, we don't "reindex" the forum after every action (post, moderation) because it isn't necessary most of the time. The system is set to auto-reindex itself on set intervals, though. This means that sometimes, you'll see the forum collapse for a few minutes. Undesirable, I know, however, the alternative is to have it reindex in response to moderation actions, and that would make them incredibly slow given the size of the forums. The size of them is gigantic - and with everybody constantly posting, this is the best alternative.
