Hello. I'm running a PBP entitled "Radavel's Rise of the Runelords." Well, my last two posts has disappeared. And it's kinda frustrating to repost the same info a third time. Guys, I need your help, please.

Sorry to hear that. It is becoming more than a bit annoying now.


I've had a post go missing to. It shows up in my Recent Posts list, but isn't in the thread anymore.

Any idea what's going on Gary? Is it the same old bug or something new?

And, may i say i like the little dot next to threads which I have posted in. Good upgrade.


on the PBP Valegrims Discusion homebrew; the board says last post my Mitsururu or something like that over 1 hour ago; but when I go to the last page; the last entry is mine; so his is missing; can this be fixed?

thanks

Thing is, those posts are still visible under "Recent Posts" in the User Profile. That is the most disturbing part about it.

I think this is an old bug that has been occurring more often because of the giant increase in traffic we've seen over the past few weeks. It's not a simple quick fix, which is why it hasn't been fixed yet.

I've been clicking the refresh button a lot. Sorry.


WTF!

Increased traffic, more missing posts! Yikes!

I had invisible posts 4 times yesterday.

When I first came to Paizo it happened about once a month.

Seems the beast is hungry these days.

Die thread monster! Die!

It's been happening for several days now.

Posts still disappearing....

There is even a eaten post in this every thread at the moment.

There is also 4 eaten posts in the Alpha 2 tease thread.

No surprise as the paizo has had a 50% increase in traffic, if alexa.com is right.

Just the most annoying bug on the boards cause it seems to happen in every thread.

A few hours ago I rolled out new code that should help with this problem. (I don't think it will solve it completely but it should be better.)

Is the problem better, worse, or about the same now?

You sound like my optometrist.

Any optometrist that hands out blindfolds is obviously a quack.


In Current threads, this thread reads that the last post by you reads
"Any Optometrist who hands out blindfolds is obviously a quack."


Currently, none of my posts appear until about an hour after I post them. Other people's take half an hour or so to appear. If that's designed to slow down debate, forcing everyone to think things over for lengthy periods of time before replying, well, I can understand that. If it's a glitch, well, we've got Gary on it, which means it'll be a short-lived one. Either way, it's OK.


This is my last post. Nothing you can do will destroy it!

FREEDOM!

Well, I can see this and you posted it 4 minutes ago. I guess Gary just hates you.

Ahhh. The computer has a delicious sense of irony. The post above is currently AWOL.

Yes.

I tire of this game. I'll come back in a few hours and they'll all be here. People will think me a madman. My child will shun me, my wife will divorce me. This is my end, gentleman.

Worse.

Well OK then.

New strategy tomorrow.

To be fair, the posts do show up. It just takes a delay of around 30 minutes. It means a lot of double or triple posting until you figure it out.

Thread Monster has eaten any posts today so far...

Cast Alarm


This has directly affected me about seven times, and indirectly about twelve to fourteen.


My last two posts regarding the Alpha 2 teaser have been eaten.

I found and resurrected a bunch of posts that had gone missing.

New strategy in place. (Actually several new strategies.) Let's see how this one goes....

No blindfolds?

Better. No lost posts.


One thing to be pointed out is that I've had posts disappear, but after some time they do appear. This does lead to periodic bouts of double-posting, and I know I'm not the only one to have done that.

...or, am I? MUAHAHAHAHA*coughhack*

Anyways, this place seems to have an infestation of post faries. I suggest fumigation.

Hi there,

I am experiencing the same problem for about two weeks by now.
The first time it manifested as a double posting after my posting had vanished first.
In the meantime about every second posting of mine gets eaten by whom- or whatever and never shows up again.

This grows really irritating. I am not used having to copy-paste my postings just for the 50% chance that I have to enter the text anew.

My technical settings: Windows XP, Firefox 2.

EDIT: Choosing preview and only after that hitting the "submit post" button seems to work (most of the time).

Greetings,
Günther


Much fewer missing posts.
