Posting Query

**SueW** · 29 Sep 2004, 01:40

I've only noticed this in my Blog but it may apply to all the threads.

When I make a post which starts a new page (e.g. post 75 and post 100) then it doesn't always show until I make a second post on that page.

I made a post in my Blog (MeatLoafInfo.com) today dated 28th September but my Blog only lists 4 pages ending on 27th September. When I made another post in that thread, it then showed my 28th September post at the top of the page and lists 5 pages of posts.

Currently the Blog section lists 4 pages with the link on page 4 leading to http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/showthr...=3613&start=75 but if you click on http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/showthr...3613&start=100 then you can see the 28th September post but that's not listed in the Blog forum list.

This also happened when I started page 4 of MeatLoafInfo.com so I posted one message twice as it wasn't showing.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Topic's first and last post number post are stored in the topics table. These two columns are responsible for proper paging of a topic.
If for some reason, the the last post number doesn't get updated properly, the paging is fubar'd (eg. "Page 5 of 4").

Example:
If the system has to send too many topic reply notification emails and therefore violates the maximum script exec time, the script gets suspended and cannot update these counters.

A Forum Resync fixes this issue.
