Dont you find it annoying?
Why does it happen?
What I'm talking about is when your favourite thread suddenly copies itself,more or less completely,most of the time,less,and then,when you post a reply in one of the copies,it ends up in the other,where it makes no sense,since it didn't land where it was suppoesed to.(Phew,long sentance.)
Tell me WHY???

When it happened a while ago it had to do with a change to the IP address of the server where the forum was. Basically, the posting gots messed up because the address changes hadn't properly replicated themselves through the Internet. As a result, posts where reaching the server with incorrect addresses and stuff got messed up.
Most of the new threads that have been started int the last week or so are fine.
There is also some speculation that it is simply caused by too many people simulatenously posting to the same thread.
