Why are my posts in this [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=889568): not showing the number of replies for the thread, not showing when I click that number to see the posters in the thread, not showing in the posts by me search, thread is not showing in my subscribed threads list Apparently they are also not included in my post count? Can anyone else even see my posts? Am I finally invisible? ---

I thought I heard something. Is there a got in here? OK, I do see your posts on that thread. I can’t speak to the issues you are having except to suggest we are starting to have some server issues. They appear to be growing. See \*\*Beckdawreck \*\*'s thread. ---

When you submitted the post, did it buffer for a while before posting? I’m thinking you just happened to hit submit right when the board was having one of its micro-outages. A week ago, I submitted a post, it showed up in the thread, but the thread itself did not bump up to the top. Whatever problem this board is having, it’s causing lots of quirks apparently. ---

Server issues is likely the explanation, but the first post seemed to go through okay when initially posted. Then I couldn’t see it later so I posted again. That second post was a bitch to post. After the second posted I was able to see my first post. But good to know that others can see me. Except kayaker. 😉 ---

I feel you. I feel like I’m not really here. That’s not really an unusual feeling for me, come to think of it. ---
