    This is happening now with the Trivial things that annoy thread in AH. It says the last post is at 13.56 but the last post when you open the thread is from before that.

    Hi Gremlinertia,

    We thought that posts being hidden or deleted might be prompting this, but that doesn't appear to be the case. We are currently investigating to see what might be causing the issue. It seems to happen sporadically, as I was able to access last post right away, and seems to rectify itself later in the page, but I can understand the frustration.

    I appear to be having a problem with viewing new posts. The number one is showing in the top right beside my name but when I click on the thread it doesn't show the newest post. For example, I posted on the lunchtime with Ciara Kelly thread on the radio forum, but when I click on the thread my post isn't showing - even though it shows it as the last post posted before I click on the thread.

    Edit: Actually the problem is only happening on the Ciara Kelly thread. I commented on the hard shoulder and it is showing for me.

    I (and others) are having this issue in the Motorsport forum, new posts in the general chat thread, can't view them. This is the url when I click "goto first new post" on Desktop, Chrome, W10 - https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=108608146#post108608146

    The problem seems to have resolved itself for me. It happened a few days ago too and resolved itself. I'll write in this thread if it happens again.

    Hi Stoolcup and Inviere,

    I've merged two threads on the matter so that we can keep people in the loop and make it easier to get additional information from more users. Looking into the issue at the moment. Thanks!

    This has been happening a while now for me. It’s usually the first two posts on a new page get “stuck” and you can’t view them until a third poster posts. Usually if you click “full site” on the bottom of the page you can see the posts, so it’s just a touch site issue, seemingly.

    Here is another example I noticed this morning in the Android forum.

    There was a reply at 11:20 which is not showing on the thread list.

    I'm getting the same on a couple of threads, notably the TH thread and another one in a private forum. Legacy site, both on Vivaldi and Firefox. However, if I click onto the responsive site then the posts are there. What happens is, I click on "view latest unread post", but instead of being brought there I get brought to the top of the page where my last unread post is.

    The other weird thing is that if I'm replying to a post in certain threads (including the reported posts one), some of my posts get posted behind the original message I'm replying to, as if I had actually written it before - not sure if ths is related to it at all.

    This one.

    Still can't get past page 38 to page 39 on Firefox but straight into in on Chrome on the phone. There's two new posts in the thread from where I can't access it on FireFox but 20+ posts in the thread in Chrome? I'm guessing deleted posts or some such is changing the number of posts being shown on the touch site?

    Sorry, my bad, stuck on page 37 on the laptop and wouldn't go to page 38.
    Post #1481 was the post I couldn't see at the beginning of page 38 but I'm on it now on the laptop.
    Post#1455 is showing up for me as the first post on page 38 on the touch site?

    Been trying to do some testing on various threads. If you spot any that are short (such as the Android Devices thread Mr E linked above, which appears to be rectified now - though we'll see how it holds up with new replies), it would be particularly helpful (easier to compare numbers, what replies are being counted, etc.).

    The TH thread is stuck for me at the moment, it's showing as unread although the last post was before 2PM.

    I hope you're not suggesting that as a short thread; it's more than 5,000 posts long :D (Edit: It is worth highlighting any threads you see though for greatest frame of reference, so thanks)

    Seems to be an issue across a few threads, but currently can't see a pattern to it. The Android thread was just 3 posts, for example. Keeping a note of the threads impacted, but a nice short thread that's gone a little off the rails is the easiest to check and double check. And less likely to be thrown by posts deleted, thread merges, etc., though we can see these.

    :D It's all good.

    Some threads appear to be rectifying themselves...Lunchtime Live with Ciara Kelly and You Annoy Trivially That Things in AH look right according to the DB at least. Are they behaving themselves in practice?

    Someone just added a post to the TH thread and that seems to have "unstuck" it for now. Incidentally, up to a few days ago, in Vivaldi only, clicking on the "view unread" button on that thread from my subscription list was still bringing me to the Glen Hansard AMA page or returning a 404 message. Again, not sure if it's related.

    I've just experienced this, it's not a caching issue. The forum level shows the last post correctly, the thread has no sign of it.

    But others can see the post, so I'm guessing a replication issue.
