    There was a bug. It is now fixed. I will merge all the related comments into the thread below.

    I'm the only on on boards it seems (but I'm assuming everyone else is thinking the same thing right now!)

    Also recent posts are not showing up.

    Hey, in the subscribed thread list as well as in individual forums, threads are not updating to show that they've been read. It just started happening this morning.. not sure if it's happening for everyone or just me?

    The PM system seems to have gone mental, for me anyway.

    I received a pm, got the notification, clicked and read it, all fine so far.

    Went to reply and the reply was blank, no name, no title, no message. Went back into my pm inbox and the pm was gone. Clicked into a forum and I got a notification for the new unread pm being the same pm I had just read (same sent time too).

    I was able to reply to it then but my reply wasn't in sent items and the original pm was again gone.

    Now I keep getting the notification about a new pm, same one I have read and replied to.

    Sorry that was long winded, just seems to be a bug in the system :)

    Oops seems to have been a site wide freeze of some sort?? Seems to be working now sorry!

    It seemed to be a sitewide freeze in time, nothing done after 11.57 was really showing up.

    Same thing happening with me, but also lots of other stuff, don't know if they're related:

    • I keep getting logged out and when I try to log in again it takes loads of tries. I cleared my cache and cookies (I don't even know what this means but I always see it being advised :o)
    • On the homepage it said there was only 1 active user.
    • When I go to read the last post in a thread, it's not showing up, it's only showing a previous post.

    Have to be quick here. Basically, my login timed out while writing a post. When I went to preview, I got the login page and filled in my login details, got the page telling me I was logging in, then it just went back to the page telling me I wasn't logged in and requesting my login details again. Tryed 5 times but without success. Have had to come back out to forums list page and use the login details fields at the top of the page to login successfully. There was also a login button on one of the help forums pages to click to get the login page, this was just coming back with page not found.

    New posts I've made haven't been showing up.

    I submitted a reply to this post, it's disappeared. Initially my username was still in the 'Last Post [by]' column on the forum page but clicking into the thread it's nowhere to be found.


    Related to this issue?

    Possibly.

    When did you do it?

    This is far from solved, three times its played up the last 40 mins, shorter the last time.

    Must have been around 12:55 (after post #50 in the thread). The post I made earlier in the same thread also seem to take a while to show up correctly (#45 @ 11:47).



    //edit
    After submitting this reply and being sent back to this thread, I had to refresh before I saw my reply.

    There were lingering issues around then.

    This is (somewhat) normal. Changes aren't always instant, depending on how loaded the site is and a bunch of other factors.

    OK, thanks. Haven't noticed new replies taking a bit of time to show up before.

    The one that's (still) missing wasn't a hugely important post. Will let you know if it happens again.
