Posts not visible in a thread

If you skip back about 5 pages you can see the new posts, it's a glitch between the thread index due to deleted posts.

A new thread was setup to discuss the debate, so most of the new posts are going there at the moment.

Maybe using a better third party, or not going down that route in the first place - especially when this was all originally sold as going to be better than the old platform.

Here we are several years later and the site is still a broken mess.

It's happening on multiple threads. If vanilla can't get it fixed I hope there's severe penalty clauses in their service level agreement because as it stands multiple threads are unusable. The platform is not fit for purpose.

It's the latest in an ongoing series of problems that break basic functionality and cause confusion and frustration - in part because users have to guess what's happening this time if they don't know about this corner of the site.. maybe a site-wide banner announcement would help?

If it was a one-off fair enough, but this stuff is happening ever since the switchover. For all the complaining by the staff about the old site, I don't recall these sorts of issues happening too often. At BEST we moved to stand still but in real terms it's multiple steps back.

As for the alternative being to shut it down, I don't buy that - it could have been sold to another party with the interest/pockets to invest, it could have been community funded or supported, or even just basic transparency at the time rather than this pitch that it was all going to be better would have helped set expectations.

Fundamentally the place is a shadow of it's former self. AH has threads on the first page from days ago (always a good barometer). I understand the reality of where this site is these days in terms of funding, staffing levels and prospects, but many of the same old "management issues" persist regardless and that certainly doesn't help.

Can we get a restart of the megathreads in CA?

Not sure if something happened to make it worse but anecdotally I'm seeing this in quite a few threads now and hadn't seen it before last week or so. The PS Plus thread and a few of the longer threads in the running forum

Just posting in case there was something that made it worse that needs to be investigated, not to complain :)

Grand, like I said just making you aware, keep fighting the good fight

...you need to go back a few pages to see the new posts. There is page glitch.

Most new posts are going to the new Debate thread.

Same for me. I’ve gone back multiple pages and can see some but when I go forward again it’s always blank. So that work around isn’t working

Boards is completely unusable for me now, due to this issue.

Probably easier for mods / admin to have deleted posts visible to them, unedited

According to @Boards.ie: Mike, there haven't been any deletions that would explain the mismatch between the stored count and the actual number of posts. So there's some other issue that actually causes the incorrect calculation. Why dozens of discussions were affected all at once (or within a very short space of time) hasn't been explained.

Have you actually gone back 10 pages? Because there are posts on page 1010, which is less than 10 pages back from the current 1019 pages
