Three strange things happened recently. Only three? Well, that’s the ones I noticed.

One, I posted a new thread to Debate and while at least one other member read it within an hour of it being posted, it took over two days to appear on my computer. It simply wasn’t there.

Two, I received a pm with completely different details in the automatic email advice and in the actual pm itself.

Three, when I tried editing a post the font kept changing when I clicked Save. I beat it eventually by just deleting and re-posting until it came good but even so . . .

That first one worries me. Who knows what might be posted but unviewable? Not good enough, WF.

When I used cut and pate to put up a long post that I had edited considerably in the past sections of it reverted to previous forms, other fonts and double or single spacing.
This did not strike me as too strange but on a couple of other occasions, with something which I had just written and not edited from various sources, when cut and posted the last line came in a different font from the rest.
"At least one other member saw it" Presumably because they posted on it, did you notice if there had been views? Was it as contentious as you normally are? Unusuall for you to only be able to provoke one comment in debate in two days. Just the way my mind is running, but hunting petrol engines is about as far as I got in understanding glitches in mechanical systems.

Posts are registering in threads but no showing on the forum main pages. One thread in particular in the poetry forum, that has four or five responses, is showing none and a much earlier post is still showing as the latest entry on the forums home page.
