The last 4 posts in the thread "43S status" are not indicated anymore in the thread overview. See e.g. this one. They appear on the heap, however. Please crosscheck and correct. TIA

Maybe you hit the limit of threaded mode?
There are 275 messages shown in that thread.

Maybe. But 275 doesn't look like a plausible limit to me.

Unusual, yes, but...

[walter b]

Nice theory, but 277 posts are displayed as they should.

And in that other thread, even 313 posts are handled flawlessly. Strange.

I count 302 lines shown... :/

I brought this up with the MY BB developers, and after a few minor suggestions like rebuilding some DB tables failed to change anything, the ideas have stopped coming. They may think of something else to try later.

Thankyou. Could they explain the different behavior in both threads yet?

[Dave Hicks]

They don't follow the theory that there is a post count limit so a thread with more posts is not inherently interesting for them.

OK. I'm willing to do some experiments, but without a hypothesis of the cause that's a bit difficult.

I think I know what started this mess. Maybe it'll lead to a solution or perhaps a warning regarding the dangers of deleting posts.

Yesterday I posted in the 43s status thread regarding speculation of the price of the 43s. You, Walter, countered with a post about the cost. I didn't catch the change in terminology and that led to the exchange of a few more posts. Once I realized my mistake I deleted the offending posts. I explained to Den that it was my mistake.

I'll take the rap for dropping the singularity and the mess it's created. Now if I could just say, "I've got a 'ole in me pocket" like Ringo from Yellow Submarine.

Be assured I didn't notize anything offending. Though I must admit we're far less sensitive in such matters on this side of the great pond as it was often demonstrated on the forum. Anyway, deleted posts are a hypothesis. Thankyou. Let's see how we can verify.

At first reading I was puzzled, but it looks like asteroids are appropriate in a black hole topic.
I learned something new today...

Thanks for your remark. That's the curse of auto-complete. I used my android to write that response and didn't check it sufficiently (FYI, we've got "damit" in German). I corrected my previous post accordingly.

Dave, please see here. HTH the software guys.

d:-?

[walter b]

It's there. Of 7 posts, only 2 are shown in that thread.

[walter b]

These errors persist. Is there anybody taking care of them? TIA
