Threads getting "stuck"

There have been several threads in the Photoshop Lounge that have been getting "stuck". On the main page it shows they were updated, but when you go into the thread it shows older posts. It takes several 5-10 posts in that thread for it to finally stop locking up and work correctly.

It was just a random few threads, but I have noticed several within the last few days. Needs to be looked into.

    This one has been stuck twice in the last 24 hours:

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2296103?tstart=0#2296103

    A new thread has been started to replace it now. But this is ridiculous this is happening more and more frequently and it seems to happen to the "news" threads more often in the lounge. Is there some correlation between the threads getting stuck and the number of posts within each of those threads?

    maybe the url attachments can't be located fast eough?

    Someone in the thread (that just got unstuck) seems to think it has to do with moderation of posts (deleting posts?), and given that the 'toadie' guy or whatever was recently in that thread (I think), that could be the source of the problem..

    I blame Jive entirely.

    You can polish a turd, as Mythbusters proved, but you still can't clean the turd that is Jiveware.  The best Adobe can do with this forum is polish it (although it seems to be just stinking up the place more and more), but it's still a turd!

    Unfortunately it looks like we are all going to have to live with it or move on to something else.

    I can understand some issues with the software, but something as simple as a thread not showing as being updated should be fixed as this is the whole point of the forums.

    There was a can of air freshener around here somewhere...

    Yeah.  Actually, I will move on once I find an active alternative.

    But some of the "features" (bugs) in this stuff are in the most basic possible functionality.  Loading a page past page 1.  Typing in this stupid "rich" text box thing.  Completely incorrect or stale information on the forum thread listing.

    I mean come on Jive, what good are fancy features if even the basic ones don't work correctly?  This can't all be bad Adobe hardware or config, it's buggy jived up jiveware.

    Could you verify the exact number of posts it takes to get a thread 'unstuck'? There is a known issue with threads getting stuck where they get moving again after 6 posts exactly, so if it is 6 posts I would be inclined to attribute it to that bug.

    One thread took 8 posts for it to move yesterday (racism or common sense). I think one this morning took 7 posts to move (More of the best of Newsy snippets of news that seem newsworthy)

    Do you know if people have been getting "Content approved" or "Content rejected" notifications for these threads recently? I know some moderators have been clearing out the queue of several months of abuse reports recently and changes to the moderation status may be causing this in part.
