I deleted a thread?

Post by matthijs »

I was just posting a reply in the client side forum on the thread /poll tables or divs. As happens often lately after posting I get a download screen which asks me to save posting.php. Not good. So after waiting a minute I try again. This time with success. But then I see I have double posted. So I delete the second post.

And now the whole thread is gone?

Sounds like we've got some database integrity issues from what you're saying... I noticed a user had posted two separate threads this morning, but his/her post count was 1. Then again, phpBB doesn't actually count() posts, it keeps a running total. There could be a simple explanation for the thread disappearing, such as it being moved maybe.

The popups asking me to download the page are very strange. It happens a lot.

I have searched the thread but cannot find it. Haven't looked in all subforums yet though. It was the poll about which was better for layouts, table or div

I have noticed I am being logged out very regularly - the forums doesn't seem to be remembering my login. Might be something related on the database side.

The same happened with me this morning. But thread didn't disappear when I delete the second post. But my post count wasn't incremented.

Yeah, I've noticed that to quite a bit from my crappy wireless connection at home, it gets rather annoying. But I currently only blame my internet connection and not the forums...

The thread reappeared again. I am sure it was gone for an hour or two.
