I know for some time search broke. Also bug with post 50 in thread. But last few week I see some thread post 2 maybe 3 time. I know this probably happen because some lag or some thing. But this not like usual extra thread. When view the thread if some person respond it show up in each extra thread also. Is forum soon to crash? It seem more bug start to show up. If so I hope Anet have some plan for new forum software. I know Anet can not fix current forum because no longer work with company that make it.

I know some of my posts hang for a long time before going through. I think the multiple posts are when the posts do that, the person cancels the hung posts and reposts. But then the canceled post and the new post both go through.

At this point, maybe the whole forum should be completely redone and a new one made.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Yes but strange thing is if some person respond to one thread it show up in duplicate thread also. I do not think I see this happen until last few week.

The HOw to GW2 real good thread is example of this but do not think it will be here long. One thread show 4 respond but extra thread 0. Both thread show respond from same people.

I agree with Just. For the past few weeks, some posts or when loading threads, the forum takes forever to load. If one is impatient, and tries again, the double/triple/etc. posts show up.

I’m not sure why it hangs sometimes, lately, and other times, it doesn’t.

Yah. Not only is it happening to individual posts, but to new threads. In that case we’re seeing multiple copies of the same thread and they’re all tied together somehow so that looking at any is the same as looking at only one.

It seem this happen a few times a day now. So I wonder if forum software start to fail. I hope Anet has some future forum plan. One day we may visit forum and just get big page error. Hope Anet can do some thing before this happen.

I didn’t think it was the 50th post, I thought it was any post starting a new page. I did have a weird hang yesterday when trying to load page 3 of a thread. It spun so much that I decided to post my own thoughts and see if they loaded after whoever caused the bug had fixed it. To my surprise, I not only ended up on page 4 but had to post my own forum bug breaking top-of-page comment.

Which today was deleted as “off topic.” I guess I was too creative in my comment explaining I was fixing the bug. I get bored of short “fixing forum bug” posts (by me, I pass no judgment on others) and I like to mention the bug during a creative riff on the overall theme of the thread. This confuses the mods, it seems I am not mad it was deleted, and in fact heartened that they’ve changed their message to strongly reassure that it is in no way held against my account that I posted something off topic, they only wanted to explain the reason for deletion. But it means extra work clearing out my inbox, so I’ll confine myself to the boring obvious post in the future.

Until such time as they are able to miraculously get a new system written from scratch to look very much like this one and able to call up all the old posts from everyone, anyway
