[Political Consequences if Congress legalized marijuana?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=494323) I posted in it, and now it always shows up as new, but there are no new posts in it. Every time I click on it, it takes me to post #18, like that’s the latest post. It’s not. It’s on post #24, at the moment. It’s only this one thread. Other threads appear to working normally. ---

Yeah…I’m accessing the new ones just by adding (or subtracting) a one from the topic link number. > **[test](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=494727)** > > testing. No new posts in over half an hour? That one seems to have the most people in it, I’ve found.
