Site misdirections?

[MKG]

Is it me? Am I going doolally? (correction: even more doolally).

Increasingly, the main forum page is showing the latest postings on threads - name, date, time - it's all there - and then when the thread is opened, the posting is nowhere to be found.

I wouldn't mind, but my bacon sandwiches get cold while I'm looking for stuff that doesn't exist. Mind you, that's more or less the story of my life.

But ... is there a site gremlin which is inventing these things?

Well I went to the home page and this thread was there in the latest postings. I clicked on it, and it brought me here But thank you for drawing my attention to the new front page. Lovely photo of Andy and Dave there.

Are we talking about the forum index page, or the main site? There's no photos on the forum.

Mike - I don't know which way you use the forum i.e. view new posts or come into a thread you are watching from an email, but it may well be that you get a notification of a new post or the light shows up that there's been a new posting on a thread, but it was a spammed post which has been deleted. I get emails for new posts on threads I'm watching and if I just get put into the first page I know it was a spammed thread, as normally you're taken automatically to the place where you last read that thread. I don't follow the forum by the lights showing new posts but I suspect spam posts light up then the light stays on even if the post is deleted.

Hope this makes sense!

It's the forum idex page, but I think it's sorted - you'll be very surprised, I know, to learn that it was probably me. For some reason, I never see the subforums at the top of some pages - and that's where the phantom postings are, I've discovered.

Pretend I never started this thread
