Weird things are happening over at [the Amazing Race thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=336935) for this week’s episode. While the link in my UserCP shows three pages with the last post by **Askia** , when I get onto the thread itself, it shows a link for a fourth page, and Askia’s post isn’t anywhere on Page 3. When I click the link for the fourth page, I get taken back to the top of Page 3. I can’t get to later posts by substituting post numbers above 150 in the url for individual posts either. ---

Something similar is happening to the [Weekly Comic Book Discussion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=337345) - it hasn’t hit 2 pages, but it’s longer than the index claims, the wrong post is listed as last, and it’s not jumping to the top of the index. ---

I see that happen now and then - it’s not permanent. Seems to straighten itself out after a couple more posts have been made. ---

There had been some weird things going on with the board earlier today because the hamsters were hiccupping. ---

These phenomenon are usually a function of an overloaded server. But, hey!, I could get a server for $200/month that wouldn’t do this… ☹ ---
