strange happenings

Post by strmdncr » Sun Mar 04, 2007 4:07 am

I'm not quite sure what is going on but yesterday and today when I have come onto bus I will check out posts and it says one particular post is the last one but when I hit reply then I find out there have been a bunch of others since what is showing on the original page that I'm reading? Is there a bus problem occuring or is it just the fates playing with me?

I *think* I know what you mean, and if I'm right it is a board glitch.

With the really long posts that are over a certain number of pages, when posts are made and it goes onto yet another page of thread, the board doesn't realise the new pages are there, so when you go to make a reply that's when you'll see the most recent posts that are on a new page. Does that make sense? Does it explain what you're seeing?

To get round it, you can do a couple of things, I think the easiest is to click on the <img src="http://buslist.org/phpBB/templates/subS ... _reply.gif"> icon next to the name of whoever made the last post, or the <img src="http://buslist.org/phpBB/templates/subS ... _reply.gif"> icon next to the thread title, and which will take you to the most recent post in the thread.

If that's not what you mean, can you explain a bit more? Or maybe someone else will have an answer :)

yeah, i would try the thing notevenpretty suggested. click that arrow thing and see if it works. that usually takes me to the last response of a thread.
