Disappearing threads!

Tech - can you tell us, please, why random threads disappear (or at least, can't be seen on the Active list) and reappear for no logical reason?
It's driving me nuts, and I think some other members, too!

I still like this site , it is relatively easy to navigate .. {flowers]

I wasn't going to remind you, Josie because I thought things seemed a bit better - but threads are still disappearing and I was rather worried that you and Tech had been in discussion since Monday! confused

Hi Anagram, just having a word with Tech about this now to update you.

Anagram Mon 13-Aug-12 11:03:16

They are STILL disappearing - two are missing at the moment!

Thanks, Josie smile

Ok - latest news is that this will be fixed in part of an update that's going live next week at some point.

Until then, we've been promised some safeguards to make sure that if threads start disappearing they reappear more quickly.

We'll check where Tech's at with this now folks.

Really sorry it's been going on for so long, blush

Threads are still disappearing! It's very frustrating looking for one you know was there a minute ago, and having to 'search' for it, then bump it up.
Are we any nearer solving the problem, GNHQ/Tech Department?

North-east and Scotland Meet Up thread has now vanished from Active but is Visible on Last Day, though not get-at-able.

Have you found the pattern yet, Tech?

Bags Thu 19-Jul-12 14:42:15

DollarDotSearchTopicName has flipped over to 16 July weigh-in thread now. Y'know, it's quite a good game this spotting of the DotDollar gremlin on Last Day.

And, guess what, it's disappeared from Active.

Bags Thu 19-Jul-12 14:01:43

Now that dollar search topic name whojimmyflippy has gone to the Verse and Prose that I like thread. Thread gremlin.

Anagram Thu 19-Jul-12 13:42:26

This disappearing threads nonsense is very annoying. I think it's getting worse!

I'm also finding that I can post a response to someone (let's say OP), and see it come up straight after that person's post, only to find when I come back a bit later that a couple of other posts have appeared between OP's and mine! Could that be because more people are using iphones etc. these days? confused

Clicking on the thread title takes me back to the Forum list page, not to the thread confused

Bags Thu 19-Jul-12 13:37:04

Tech, I was just looking for the Tracey Emin thread and it wasn't listed under active, so I looked under last day. It was there but its forum topic name was not. Instead, where that should have been this appeared: "$search.TopicName"

My thread on ex-prime ministers disappeared after I had added a comment, then reappeared on Active when I bumped it a little later.

absentgrana Thu 19-Jul-12 12:45:51

It's still happening.

Ella46 Thu 19-Jul-12 11:33:23

Typical! It's back now! grin

Ella46 Thu 19-Jul-12 11:32:13

Bump!
The Twitter thread has disappeared this morning! I thought this had been sorted.

Tech.....

Anagram Tue 03-Jul-12 10:08:54

Ooh! Bit chilly for that sort of thing!

whitewave Tue 03-Jul-12 09:46:32

Kates clothes have gone at the moment

Anagram Tue 03-Jul-12 08:58:58

Thanks, Geraldine! Glad it's in hand.
(BTW, isn't it a bit early in the day for three glasses of wine? wink)
