testing. No new posts in over half an hour?
I’m showing no new posts since 6:13 CST. 
Aaaaaaand . . . that post I just posted is not recorded in a search on New Posts. But I can see when I go directly to the thread.
Something is rotten in Denmark . . .
Search isn’t working at all now and for two or three days I’ve gotten a database error now and again (which is usually rectified by just clicking refresh). Things are kinda screwy these days.
ETA: A bit screwier than they usually are.
I just tried posting a new thread and it didn’t show. Nor is it coming up in searches. But I can reply to it.
How did you post this thread, wring?
Apparently, like Scarlett67 pointed out, when you reply to a topic, you can see your and other people’s updated replies but the times and dates of the thread continue to look like nobody’s posted for an hour or so.
Huh. I’m trying to quote BellRungBook’s post but it’s not working either.
That’s going to be pretty funny, though, if all the “ghost” topics suddenly appear when the present problem is fixed.
I can imagine about five topics all with the same title.
And about 500 “What the heck is wrong with the boards?” topics.
Oh, and about 5000 “test” topics in here.
I also just tried cleaning out some old unread PMs (Feud notifications, which I get e-mailed to me so I don’t need to read them here), and they won’t delete. Another head-scratcher.
While we’re waiting, go here and answer my grammar questions!

Interesting. You can still access threads made (in making order) by changing the number in the address bar (and adding a 1 to the current number each time).
There’s not that many yet, looks like…which is good, I’m thinking.
How do I clean my computer? - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board isn’t a topic (so far).
ETA: Well, now it is.
to answer the question, I posted the thead normally. Iwas not able to quote another poster, and in this mode can only see my OP
But your thread showed up in the ATMB forum, wring, which is how I found it. The new thread I posted (linked above) didn’t show up in GQ at all.
maybe I was lucky, maybe yours will show up.
