Several of mine are missing too...
Aug 30, 2005 12:52PM PDT

For instance, I posted a reply here earlier today, and everything was fine until someone replied to mine, then mine and theirs disappeared, but it still comes up with message 1 of 4. When I click the link to my post in the thread from my profile, I receive the Cnet ''We're sorry, but the page you requested could not be found'' error. If anyone else steals one of my posts, there's gonna be trouble! Wink

Number of threads to a message is incorrect?

Found the same last evening

in several forums the message count for recent posts does not match the actual # in the thread. There was a short outage time on my end. Maybe something updated/reset/restored.

Is this still happening to any of you?

If it is please update this thread with an example URL.

So far it looks like a hiccup which has been resolved itself. We have been having some site issue throughout CNET.com these past couple of days and it maybe due to to that. So I'm hoping this issue doesn't occur again.

Thanks for reporting the issue everyone.

Lee, there were only TWO threads
Aug 31, 2005 8:51AM PDT

that I knew about in V&S that were missing posts but sometime overnight, they reappeared. I'm not sure exactly when they reappeared though. They were gone when I left for the night last night and I noticed sometime this morning that they were back. I haven't had any issues with this today at all.

Seems OK now ...

Yesterday I had found five threads in the Computer Help and Computer Newbies forums (three of which I had posted in) that had missing replies. They were still MIA around 11:00 PDT, but seem to be front and center now...thanks for looking into it, Lee.
