I've noticed that when a post is added to a thread there's often a minute's delay before the new post can be seen when viewing the thread. It's possible to see that the post has been added to the thread before then when looking at a forum or other list of threads, but it's listed with a time like '11:39 pm' rather than '1 minute ago'. I'm not sure when this started.
Something less common and possibly related is that sometimes a new thread doesn't display the first post for a while. This can take much longer than the problem I described above. Here's an example where the first post showed up 20 minutes after I replied to a thread.

It is driving me positively batty, particularly in PBP (aka play-by-forum), that I spend 10 minutes on a long post, hit Submit, then see the page display *without my post*. (I really panicked the first time this happened.)
Usually if I then refresh the page I then DO see my post.
Please fix this. Thanks.

I'm still getting the delay after posting. Not every time, but sometimes I have to refresh the screen multiple times before my post shows up. Shift+refresh doesn't seem to have much effect.
If it helps:
I'm posting mostly in the Online Campaigns/Play-by-Post forum, the Gamer Life/Off-Topic Discussion forum, and the Pathfinder RPG/RPG General Discussion forum.
I'm on Chrome Version 71.0.3578.80.

I just had this happen in a play-by-post. After submitting the post, the thread reloaded without my post; when I went back to the main forums, my post showed as the last in the thread but with a timestamp of 08:43 PM (my current time) rather than x seconds ago like it used to when it was working the old way.
The behavior reminds me of the occasions when a Paizo staffer has accidentally submitted a post with a date-stamp in the future. It's almost like it's "postdating" the post to some seconds in the future when it's submitted.
EDIT: Fwiw, this one worked just fine. Timestamp of "6 seconds ago" when I submitted.
Still happening to me too.
If it matters, it seems to happen less now - the delay is a few tens of seconds (25-45?), not a whole minute.
Something of the sort is still going on. Posting a reply puts the correct post number after the # in the address bar, but often the post is not visible. This has been going on for a long time, but until fairly recently it was rather uncommon. Now I often have to reload the page multiple times before it will show my post.
This old thread was the only one about this problem that turned up in a brief search.

Same problem here, it has been going on for months.
The delay became more prominent this week after the log-in issue, so there may be something there.
I have a datum that may be useful.
One time, I posted a long post (GM post in a PbP game), and made another short post (joke post) with an alias right after. The GM post showed up after the alias post, which indicates that, whatever the problem is, it's en route to the server where things are stored (rather than being a simple display problem from the server).
Additional information: I just had a post that was visible right after I made it (which may happen less than half of the time now) disappear temporarily after I edited it, with the same phenomenon of the correct number remaining after the # in the address bar; I had to reload a couple of times to make it visible again.
