WEIRD FORUM BUG (attn admins)
« on: August 10, 2009, 01:05:52 PM »

I've posted message #559478 - the following silly little reply on my silly little "Smoking is Good for You" thread:

There's a good reason why governments got their plebs addicted to tobacco by supplying it for free during WW1 and encouraging an "if you don't smoke you're a pussy" attitude - it is psychologically favorable to encouraging toughness and willingness to take risks.  This is precisely the reason governments of today want it phased out...  :roll:

... but that message never appeared on the thread!  It's not on the bottom of page 2 and it's not at the top of page 3!  It fell through the cracks!  It does, however, appear in my "last posts" history (scroll down to today, 8/10/2009, at 11:00:45 AM) and it appears in the "Topic Summary" below the textarea if you hit reply on that thread.

I've had the exact thing happen on this forum once before - on my "Demographic Winter" thread.  Once again my post is invisible to me between page 2 and page 3, but it appears elsewhere and atomiccat was able to quote it.

I tried viewing it with other browsers and without logging in - same thing.  It doesn't appear in the source, so it's not any sort of an HTML rendering issue.

Weird, eh?   :shock:

Please confirm if you can / can't see that message on the original thread, and which page (2 or 3) it appears on.

Does anyone have anything rational to say about this?

A is fucking A. I'm sure you'll find the answer buried in some Atlas Shrugged speech somewhere.

It looks like two posts are "invisible" except in reply view, my post I've quoted above and the one that follows it:


Maybe this Slashdot story will finally inspire me to get my act together -- Nicotine Improves Brain Function In Schizophrenics --

Never heard that one before. I'll have to read the article when I get a chance. It sounds like it plays right into the fact nicotine reduces the chances of getting Alzheimers. Something to do with the active chemical and how it interacts with the brain.

The only thing harmful about nicotine is the way it is currently cured.  If this process could be changed I am sure there are sorts of beneficial properties of this natural plant.


This is serious.  How do you know your posts won't start "disappearing" next?

Maybe you're ignoring yourself.

It's probably pissed at your formatting.

It's not formatting, and ignoring a person (which I never do) still shows the table row with the "this user is currently ignored" message.  I can see all messages except the three I've mentioned above - one from a while ago on the "Demographic Winter" thread, and two just now on the "Smoking is Good for You" thread.  One of the messages on the newer thread was from Davann, who has confirmed its apparent "disappearance".

SMF has some weird-ass bugs in it. I administered a forum with a strange read/unread bug (that this one has
some times too), some coders from SMF looked at it with me and we couldn't figure it out.
It's free, so you occasionally get what you pay for.

Do you have the option to save to your outbox checked in your profile?
