Odd Forum Behaviour

[JohnW2]

Is it just me? Today, whenever I first click on a topic in the index after a new message has been posted, what I get fails to include the most recently posted message. If I 'refresh' that page, or go back to the index and then into the thread again, the most recent post is then there. Very odd!

Kind Regards, John

Glad it's not just me.

Actually, it's very interesting. If you look at what's just happened to me in the 'Voltage drop' thread, you'll see that it appears that some of the forum software is 'subtracting 1' from the most recent message number in the thread. Hence I'm seeing all but the most recent post when I first display any thread but, in the VD thread, when I click to edit the most recent message to edit it, what I'm shown is the previous message (which itself seems to have disappeared from view!)!

Kind Regards, John

I get message saying internet explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer every time I refresh the page. Not sure if it's my laptop or if it's DIYnot that acting up?

It's clearly acting up (I've informed the mods, who probably know anyway!). I can refresh OK - indeed, as I said, when I do so the 'missing most recent post' then magically appears!

Kind Regards, John

I'm running my anti malware, spyware and adware programmes just to be on the safe side. I'll go get my other laptop from the van in a minute and see if that's the same.

A thread (plug-in timers) to which I just replied has completely disappeared.

The reply is still in my history but nothing else relating to it.

Oh. It's there now.

Not sure if I made a mistake or it returned.

The messaage I was getting has dissapeared now. Not sure if it's the forum getting better or as a result of running antimalware etc.
