Every now and again when i’m on the main board screen (the one listing all the seperate topic boards, MPSIMS, GD, etc) I’ve noticed what seems to be a glitch. Next to each section there’s a link to the most recent post in that section, with the name of the poster, and it takes you directly to that post in the thread if clicked on.

But recently instead of the actual most recent post in the Pit I get:

> [@](#):
>
> Iran has another brilliant…  
> by \*\*MsRobyn \*\*

…a thread which hasn’t been active for some time. Clicking on it brings me to the [that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7124390#post7124390), but as you can see the last post was on the 21st and it wasn’t even by MsRobyn.

What’s going on?

I have no idea how this happened; I was not able to duplicate it.

Just chalk it up to “weird stuff that happens sometimes.”

Sorry for any inconvenience you might have had.

Don’t worry about it - it’s annoying but not that bad, really. Just thought i’d let you mods know, though. 🙂

Apparently, the sheer awesomeness of my presence causes the board to hiccup.

Okay, I’m laying it on a bit thick.
