The board keeps resetting the “read” posts, shows wrong “last poster” when showing list of posts, shows no posts when I hit “new posts” etc. Started doing that probably around 8pm, 6/10.
The problem’s been there for a while.
This is going to happen until we resolve our server problems.

We’re sorry for your inconvenience here and hope this will soon be a thing of the past.
I am not sure this is related, TubaDiva. For one thing, it started happening only yesterday night, and stuff like going to User CP and seeing subscribed-to threads show last-posted-times of a day ago, clicking on them and seeing posts 5 hours after those times - that has nothing to do with server speeds…
I see the same thing this morning. Sometimes dates & times will update if I Refresh; but not always.
Right now, it seems almost every thread is marked as “read” for me, but there are many I haven’t read yet. Frustrating.
Also (and I don’t know if this is related), when I do a search for my own most recent posts, some of my most recent posts don’t show up. Dunno what’s up with that.
Re: my post immediately above: seems to be resolved now.
I’m having similar problems. Half the time the board shows me yesterday’s settings for each branch even though I know I’ve personally posted in threads in those branches and know the display is therefore wrong. sometimes forcing a browser refresh fixes the issue, other times it doesn’t.
Same here-I have to refresh up to four times to get today’s listings.
Hmm, I didn’t know you could refresh to (sort of) fix things.
