Main Forums page not updating?

Shirley,

That usually means that someone deleted a post. It's one of the reasons I try to avoid deleting posts. It keeps the Home page cleaner to edit out the post and just leave a Graemlin. Also, once someone posts anything to that forum, the information comes back. You'll see that happen the more time you hang around here.

We did have a strange thing happen with Puppy (I think it was Puppy). Somehow when he deleted one of his posts it caused the entire topic to become "invisible". There were several other posts on the topic. We were able to get it back, but Puppy became a little delete-shy for awhile.

But this is not just one topic or one forum -- it's the whole page. If I open each individual forum, those pages are up to date. But the main Forums page (the one you get when you click the Forum tab in the header) hasn't updated in about an hour. If I click on the most recent post, I get yours from LosingSleep's topic: "I tend to only "hire" what I "need". "

Is that normal, or isn't that page usually "live"?

Hey, look, I got an "edit" line!

Network is slow today... Must be the Worm.

I assume you're refreshing the Home page for the forum?

Am I allowed to say "Duh!" ?

Yes, I was refreshing, Alt-refreshing, shift-refreshing, ctrl-refreshing, logging out and logging in, etc.

I left it alone while I went to a meeting and then to lunch, then refreshed again, and it's up to date now. Guess it was just frozen. I'll see if it's live from now on.

Latest posts on the Forums page were supposedly at 10:29 PST, which is about an hour ago if I've got my time-zones right.

No big deal, just a curiosity more than anything.
