This has happened several times for me, but not quite like tonight. I tried posting a comment in a thread FIVE times and it never showed up even though it "acted" like it was all good. You know, hit "post my message" and the box clears, you get a wait time of some short duration, the thread then reappears, but usually with the new comment. Tonight, five effing times the same thing, acted normally, but not showing up.

But I did notice a couple of times previously that when I encountered this issue it seemed to be when the post I was adding was the one that would take a thread from one page to a new one. So, after failing to have my post show up FIVE TIMES, i want into My Settings, changed the number of posts in a thread to be shown per page from 50 to 30.

Then the post shows up. ALL OF THEM. lol (Well, all of them were there but they had been merged into one as the forums do when you make a post within 10 minutes of your last post and no one else has posted in between).

Okay, so now I'm sure it has something do with the fact that the posts were the one causing a new page to be started.

What I don't know is, whether this is an issue for everyone or just me, in which case then I suppose it could be a browser issue? Thus my question. If others have seen this, then it's a gog issue. If no one else has seen this, then it must be something on my end. For the record I use Firefox.

I'm not sure if it happens every time my post is the one that requires the start of a new page, but I am pretty sure that when it does happen, it was when it was a post requiring the start of a new page.

That just happens sometimes; this forum is built on PHP and hope, and they're out of PHP programmers.

Okay, thank you very much. Now I know it's on gog's end. I admit I suspected as much (as you're right about this forum) but since I don't recall others commenting on this I thought there was a chance it was on my end.

Thanks again.

At least they have bubblegum.

Yes, have had this happen on a few occasions.

This is why I use the Barefoot Essentials extension. It doesn't fix everything, but it does fix a lot.

Happened to me sometimes. Also sometimes my post will appear ok, but it will not "bump" the thread, ant the "last update" still displays time from the previous post.

That's a known issue, I don't recall a time when it didn't happen. Usually happens at high traffic times like during sales or when certain threads are insanely active, and the issue is that new pages take time to be generated, so if your post would be the first one on a new page, you won't see it (or sometimes you may see it for a moment but then if you check again, it'll look as it if had vanished). The situation tends to fix itself when someone else posts in that thread as well, but sometimes it just takes time, whether someone else posts or not, so in that case there may be multiple posts that don't show for a while.

YES! Thank you. I've seen this several times too but forgot to ask it. Now I know that this is also not on my end.

Sometimes I wonder whether it's a Firefox thing, but now I can rule that out (I think) on these two issues.
