A few minutes ago, I posted in some forum games, but these posts are not showing up. I saw this problem immediately after submitting the post, so they're not deleted. Does anyone know why my submissions would not show?

Update: I cannot see new posts (within the last 5 minutes) in forum games from anyone.

This is happening to me too. And it appears that the first post on page 2709 on the 'You're banned' thread keeps changing. Only four people have posted in that thread since it starting glitching.

I've experienced the same thing in the Popular Media section of the forae...

Turns out that your posts are not gone (as in they aren't posted), but actually being placed at the beginning of the thread underneath the OP of that thread...
So anyone who submits a post, can see this post turn up as the second post in the thread... the one posting after that becomes the second post and so on... and so on...

My best guess is that they are working on the forum systems, probably to test some stuff for the new AGv3.0 coming... nothing to worry about! =)

Just to point out... as I explained in the previous post below, you can see my next post is being placed above my older post in this thread!

The post display glitch has happened in the past before the release of AG3, so we can rule out the possibility that the staff is experimenting on us for future communities. The last time this happened, the community functioned normally after a couple daily site updates were cycled. The site would check the times of the posts and set them accordingly.

The common error is that the newest post would be under the OP. Sometimes it's not that simple when you post in larger threads. Long story short, good luck trying to find your post in a 500 page megathread.

Aight, aight, I'll be the good mod and notify.

I'm also experiencing this glitch. It's very confusing seeing my post below the person who began the post mainly because I'm used to going to the last page to see it. Is this some experimentation for AGv3?

Sorry for the double post. What Freakenstein said just sunk in. Ignore the comment I made about the experimentation please.

Confirming the previous reports. Forum games is bugging out horribly.

But the DnD thread is nearly 1500 pages long :X

Yup, acting up for me as well. This forum software never was particularly good, showing empty pages instead of the last one, for example. But this is ridiculous.

Thanks for clearing this up... at first I thought it was me!

'should be under OP now'

Is there any known way of determining which page the newest replies will be on for longer threads, or are we just stuck until it's fixed?

For threads that only have one or two pages have almost no harm. For example, this thread is organized by time. Not all of the threads are like that. So go ahead with your forum game.

It looks like the forums have stopped glitching like 10-20 minutes ago.

Eeeyup, the posts even are arranged correctly. I guess that notification wasn't needed.
