Bug: Number of new Posts Sometimes wrong

nik39 2:00 AM - 25 July, 2008
Occasionally the number of new posts on the new forum is wrong. For example this thread www.serato.com showed up as 87/87 on serato.com. (this can't be true anyway cause I have posted in that thread previously). I reloaded the tracked discussions page, still same number. Then I went to the old forum and it showed 87/1 which is the correct one. Went back to the new forum and suddenly it showed the correct numbers 87/1.

It just happened with this thread too: www.serato.com This time this is a thread where I have never posted but which I#ve been tracking. Went back to the old forum, showed the correct # of posts, back on the new forum it suddenly showed the correct # of posts as well.

Yep, thanks nik39. We're looking into that.

Yeah. This used to happen to the old forum a lot.

Hm. Yeah, I've seen this one too. Should be easy to track down what's causing this one, thankfully. Unlike that intermittent race condition one (that's hopefully now fixed)...

I thought this was intermittent too...

It is, but it's more obvious what's going wrong in this case :) Or at least, it should be.

Hm, the numbers are way off on both forums in the General and Off Topic section.

It's dope how you see new posts in a thread without having to refresh now. REEALLLLY dope. But if I go back to the "top" of that particular forum, the new posts are marked/counted as "unread."

Off topic... after hitting the POST button and the page finished loading, my post just disappeared. I had to refresh the page to see it.

Oops. That's an easy one to fix. Will do in a sec.

It probably would've appeared in a second or two. They're being loaded slightly differently when you post now, and there's a bug in it where there can be a delay before the message appears, especially when the server is under load. Will fix.
