I noticed this the other day after James deleted one of Shuriken's posts in the Meri thread...
When a post gets deleted, it seems like the forum starts having a problem where what is shown in posts on the reply screen is different than if you are just reading the thread.
This just cropped up in my PbP game starting yesterday after a new player (who was not aware that we never delete posts) removed one because he'd made an invalid action.
If it helps to trouble-shoot the issue, here are some links to the approximate locations of the deleted posts...
- A post was made under Darvesch's alias and then deleted. I believe it was after Priyya's post and before this replacement post.
- Priyya made multiple edits to this post which were not reflected the same in both the reply and reading views.
- The results of this were that some edits did not show the same on the reply/edit and reading views. Originally, I thought I got ninja'd until I double-checked things. You can see the confusion this caused based upon what I said in this post.
- This morning, Lureene made this post in which I observed they used the word "mother" instead of "offspring". They corrected it to offspring and it shows correctly in the reply view. However, it is still (at this time) showing "mother" in the reading view.
- For troubleshooting purposes, I made and then deleted a post under my Laithoron alias just before this 'testing' post so that you have a definitive reference point.
If you need any further testing done, let me know. Otherwise, I'm not sure if this is a caching issue (like with the aliases of thread starters), but if you there's some kind of clean-up/repair that can be run, that would be great. (Just don't delete my game, ok? :P )
Further feedback:
It appears that edits may show up properly for the person who made them. However, Eric/Lureene cannot see the corrections I made to this post.
The difference? In the initial post, I forgot the closing [/b][/bigger] tags on the initiative line an hadn't added the map link.
In spite of having added them just a few minutes ago, Lureene is still unable to see them.

Sorry, thought I'd answered this yesterday, but it turns out I answered a different question which had the exact same answer. At least I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.
Ah ok, that would explain the insanity. Thanks for the heads-up!
