For some reason I can't see past a post 2 hours ago in my giveaway thread. WTF??? I've never seen this before and I don't know how to check on that thread. Has anyone ever seen this??

See screenshot. It's on page 8, and the last post on that page is a guess for 325. Since then I've posted once and I got a message that someone else as posted since yet every time I go in that thread all I see is that same last post. No more posts. No more pages. Nothing.

HELP

this is weird because I just posted there and my post didn't go through, do your new posts appear? I can see 20 pages at the moment.

I was having fun in your giveaway and now unfortunately I too can't access it anymore, not the newest posts at least, how strange.

Thread seems to be moving too fast for the caching server to function properly, so you are hit by the so called "new page" bug, which basically happens because the caching server doesn't realize there is another page of posts to see. Usual workaround is to change the number of posts per forum page to a number that will split pages differently, so 30 should work in this case.
Either that or an anti-spam filter didn't like the rate of posting, but I think it's a caching issue.

Edit: 30 posts per page will still hit a hiccup at 420 posts. Wait a bit and try again I'd say.

I can't see them. I see the EDITS I made in two others.

And it's showing that someone else has posted (shows as bold black and at moves to the top of the list again) yet when I go in there I can't see anything past the post I mentioned above. Not mine. Not either of the at least two others that appear to have been made.

GOG bear seems to be eating new posts. Just tested it and I'm not able to post there either :-/
How ever, your thread is listed in "myrecentposts" as if I had posted there. So somehow it's there, but it doesn't show. Maybe it's another side-effect of GOG's "clever" anti-spam mechanisms.
Well, don't worry, I'm sure every post will appear sooner or later. Things take their time with GOG, it's like that Jack Daniel's ad with the old guys throwing corks:)

OK, thanks.

SORRY GOG I BORKED YOUR FORUMS. I didn't mean to.
I hate to say it but the problem was the giveaway's rules again, how about a limit of 3 guesses per day per person?

I think JMich is spot on with the "new page" bug (see above)
We might have run into another issue with post 450, which would be the last of page 9 if you show 50 posts per page.
I've been having this issue for well over a month. Can take upwards of an hour to see my posts in a thread.

Probably why we're having all this duped threads lately.

edit: I;m seeing this post which is labeled an hour ago:

It's "a last post" when you display 30 posts per page - same bug, different configuration.
Sorry OldFatGuy but i give up . Can't see others posts because that fucking forum bug . It's not fun anyore .
