	Forum Bug Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Notice that (at the time of writing), the first page of 25 threads (listed in order of time last modified) includes turn threads back to turn 198 (from the 19th Apr). Go to page 2 of the list of threads, and you'll notice that the last turn thread there is turn 195 (from the 13th). Turns 196-198 are missing. When all threads are listed in alphabetical order, these threads appear.

So, it appears that for some reason, no threads between the 13th and 19th of April appear in the chronological list. I've just PMmed Ming about this (should I pass it on to someone else too), but thought I ought to mention it here in case anyone is trying to find some recent threads that seem to have vanished off the face of the earth.

BTW don't know if this affects any other forums. And can anyone else reproduce the bug independently?

I think it's a known bug - I think I saw something about it in the OT. IIRC, 3 threads that should be at the top of page 2 are always in limbo.

Topped threads displace threads from the bottom of the page. These threads should show up at the top of the next page, but they do not. Instead the 'lost' threads sit in limbo 'between' pages. That is the bug.

When you are looking for any such lost threads, add &perpage=50 to the end of the url for the forum. Then you will get a page that includes the missing ones.

I have just cleaned out a few topped threads that have not been used for some time.

Good move.
