I think we might have some caching issues. We added a second web server, but I suspect some of the forum code expects a single server, so it's not quite updating correctly. I'll ask if someone can verify some affinity is in use with the web servers.

He could be included but I was actually thinking of the person that couldn't be bothered to clink any links on a search page provided for him.

Now that is interesting. I posted to two of three threads, followed by you, Gail, but in at least one of the threads (didn't check both) your post is before mine. Is that true for you as well?

Gail Shaw SSC Guru Points: 1004504 More actions · Answer 9

Both threads. I posted ~3 minutes before you (judging from when I received the emails). When I finished the posts, there were no replies.

Well, when I posted you hadn't yet. Looking at the posts in one thread it says your post was 33 minutes ago and mine 30 minutes ago. Really weird if you ask me. Maybe I should close and reopen my browser.

Nope, still shows yours before mine even though it appears mine were posted first. That is just weird.

I posted both, edited my post on his first thread and then refreshed the latest posts and it showed only one reply to both threads.

I saw that particular post yesterday afternoon, but recognized the OP and didn't touch it. It may be SS 2.0.
