Haven’t seen this in months, now has happened twice in less than 24 hours. And now is happening **every time** I hit back on the browser. _Annnnd_ some threads on the subforum display page don’t show any subsequent posts (for ex., the “Why was my thread closed?” thread here shows only 4 posts, last at 6:42 am, but I just read it and it actually has like 15.

This is one of many issues that we are seeing today, all related to some sort of underlying board problem.

I will close this so that we do not end up with multiple threads discussing the same basic problem. If you have further questions or comments, please post them in the other thread.
