Is it just me or are most of the threads which haven't progressed to multiple pages showing up as 2 pages, 3 pages, -
forum threads- multiple pages

Ok, now it's not doing that.
So now I don't have an example, but what I was seeing is this- I go to the site, General is what I have bookmarked, so there I am. First posting is 'how to post pics, etc. That is multiple pages, and you can go to them. Fine. Next thread might have only two postings, but it might show (1, 2, 3...last page). Click on 2 or 3 or last page and you go to page 1 which might be all there is so far, say one or two posts, or maybe 15 if that still fits on the first page.
Go to next thread down, it would be the same thing. There might be more than one page to the thread, or maybe not, but the (1,2, ...last page) would still be there.
Not a big deal, but confusing as you expect there to be those pages when they aren't there.
Funny how for the past several days it was like that, and just now since I posted the topic about it, it's 'fixed'.
Honestly, I haven't been smoking anything-I seldom do anything within the scope of logical reason and calculated cost/benefit, etc- I'm following my passion-

Since the big switch a while ago the performance has been a lot worse. There also seems to be some transparent caching going on near the server that is screwing up the appearance vs submission time of postings and even the post counts.
When I posted my recent thread on machining PET-G after half an hour it was still showing no views even when I opened it in another browser. When I then went in to look not only were there 24 views when I came back out but their was already a reply that didn't show up at all until I checked.
What ever was done has resulted in a big reduction in usability. Over half the time when I go to make a reply it just times out instead of responding. That only happens to the replies page. The rest of the pages eventually load but it sometimes takes several minutes.
Another thing, posts do not always appear at the time they are submitted. Frequently when I check a thread, perhaps make a reply and come back later there is another post before mine that wasn't there when I last checked, yet it should have been.Last edited by Evan; 11-27-2009, 05:30 PM.Free software for calculating bolt circles and similar: Click Here

Ok, so I posted the electropolishing thread at 6:53. An hour later it was still showing just one view which is a reply. I opened it in Opera, same thing. At 7:58 I check one more time and suddenly there are 42 views.
Something is definitely fishy. The problem is to find out where the caching is taking place.Free software for calculating bolt circles and similar: Click Here

Now, 45 minutes later it still shows 42 views. What is up with this?Free software for calculating bolt circles and similar: Click Here

That isn't the point. It seems to be changing only once per hour. It just jumped from 42 to 80 views. If the full updating of the BBS is only being delivered once per hour it makes it very difficult to hold an orderly discussion.Free software for calculating bolt circles and similar: Click Here

That seems to be because posting to the page forces a cache update since the size changes and that also updates the page views.Free software for calculating bolt circles and similar: Click Here
