Something wrong with forum! - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

Argh, the forum wont display any of the recent posts! It shows that a thread has new posts and states the time of the latest post, but then when I view a thread I cant see the latest post.

This happens in Windows and Linux, both at home and in work, using IE and Firefox.

Have you tried clearing your cache in your browser(s)?

**daledavies** · #3 (**permalink**) 18-07-2007, 12:14

Yes, although I have not used the forums on this machine before so there shouldn't be anything in the cache anyways.

Ive taken a few screen grabs to illustrate what my problem is. In this first one you can see the list of forums, if you look at the "eUKhost Announcements" section you can see that the last post was in the "New Toshiba Laptop Contest" thread by "eukhost.com" at "Yesterday 20:16"...

Picture 1

Now in picture 2 we can see the list of threads in that forum, and weirdly the "New Toshiba Laptop Contest" is displaying the last post as being on "16-07-2007 11:43"
by "DPS Computing"...

Picture 2

Finally picture 3 shows the thread its self. Again showing the last post as being by DPS Computing, not "eukhost.com" as in Picture 1...

This happens for others too, but oddly some threads are fine. The reason I chose this for an example is because I know for a fact I posted after DPS Computing in this thread and eukhost has posted after me.

Whats goin on here then? Anyone got any clues? Its not my browser cache, as the same thing happens across different OS's, different browsers and different machines.

This also happened to me on my first log on today so I think it must be a forum wide problem as opposed to anything wrong with your machine.

Is anyone else experiencing these or other strange problems?

Yeh, I was aswell, I thought it must have been my computer so ignored it.

last night we moved our website away from rackspace and now it is on our owned server. Some posts went on old server and some on the new server and it seems that you lost some of your posts as those have gone on old server after migration. I will try to import those back on new server.

This migration was delayed for many months but finally our guys did it last night.

You can access old forum from http://83.138.166.35/~eukhost/forums/

Odd, at least its not been hacked!

**DPS Computing** · #9 (**permalink**) 19-07-2007, 12:26

Yes that was my main concern as well.

At least we know its not going to be a recurring bug in the forum software either!!
