[This thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=172657), in the Pit, appears in the thread list as having zero replies, when in fact it has two. Several of the threads to which I subscribe also have the last post marked inaccurately. Is this happening for anyone else?

Yeah, that happens from time to time when the server is under an especially heavy load. Some of the indexes just don’t get updated in a timely fashion, if ever. Just a weird quirk.

Okay. Whew! I dreaded the start of another board meltdown.
