Question

Incorrect reply count / missing thread after branching thread

I just branched 404 errors on first visit to forums from the Attach Image Not Working - 11-17-09 thread. It appears that the reply count on the new thread is incorrectly set to 0, the reply count on the original thread is not decremented correctly and the original thread is now missing from the list of all threads (though if you know the URL it is still there).

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    Jochem,

    That was MY thread...

    Well, for me, leaving IE 7 behind and going to Google Chrome fixed that original issue, so I got all the info from that thread, that I needed. That it had gone tangential is less a concern of mine, though others might have been benefiting from the additional discussion.

    As far as replies not being correct, this has been a bit of an issue for me too. Often, I will go to a thread, showing 0 Replies, and post my reply. When the screen updates, I see replies from up to days before, that just did not show on my screen, nor did they appear in the _Replies area. They just seem to populate after I post.

    Not sure if this is part of what you're addressing here, or is something totally different.

    Also, do you know what forum changes were made today, 12/11/09? Things have been going wonky for me regarding the forum being dead and also some horrible log-out issues. I posted separately on that issue, but in case you do not see it, wanted to make mention.

    Thanks,

    Hunt

    PS - that my thread got split is a non-issue for me - I was just kidding.

    Yeah, sometimes with troubles all around, a bit of levity, however minimal it might be, is a good thing - or so I hope...
