    Coincidental, but I just made new bug report about session timeouts and when I submitted the post I was redirected to the thread as per usual.

    However, the first post is missing. A refresh sorted the issue, but here's a screenshot just for assistance.

    I've attached the screenshot and page source. I removed the security token from the source, paranoia might be misplaced though :P

    Please note that it happened again, with this thread. I didn't screenshot though.

    Occasionally, one or both of the slave databases will lag behind the master by a second or two. When you start a thread or make a post you get redirected back to the thread but if the slave(s) haven't actually received the post yet then it won't be there by the time you arrive.

    A refresh should always sort it.

    If a slave falls behind by 10 seconds or more, the traffic gets pulled off it until it catches up, so you should never see really out-of-date stuff.

    Makes sense, and a refresh does sort it out. I've only ever noticed it in this forum though, and today :p

    Thanks for the reply though, all is well :)

    It also happens for plain old replies (as the devs can attest to).

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
