Do I see messages from several threads in one thread?

[Jaska]

During the last hour, I have repeatedly faced an interesting phenomenon: I was reading one thread, and suddenly there appear messages about different topic. When I replied to them, then those messages disappeared, and I could find them in another thread.

So my question is: is there something wrong with the forum, or did the administrators just happen to relocate messages to more appropriate threads just the same time when I was replying to them? These were the assumed movements of messages made by administrators:
- From the Indo-Iranian thread to the Stolarek thread.
- From the mtDNA V thread to the Stolarek thread.

P.S. I moved my own replies to the right threads and deleted my replies from the earlier threads. As my messages were not moved by administrators, perhaps this is indeed a problem of the forum and not the action of the administrators.

I've sometimes briefly seen posts from the "what are you listening thread" when browsing the "Germanic art" thread. I remember feeling it was possibly something to do with the way I'd accessed the thread on those occasions (perhaps via a user's profile). I remember those music posts disappearing when I then accessed the Germanic thread in a different way...

I have seen something like this too when I have multiple threads open in different tabs and am moving back and forth between them, especially if I try to quote a post to respond. I figure it's just some kind of glitch and usually delete my reply and start over.

We'll investigate, thank you for reporting it.

Yep see this all the time. I enjoy looking at new unread posts and in fact start my day seeing what new unread posts I've missed in each thread.

For some reason, occasionally, random unrelated posts (they tend to be the newest posts on the forum I think), show up in some of these threads. I just ctrl R (refresh) to make them disappear.

Exactly the same observation in the same thread, so it is independent from the user.

I had it too and when refreshing the page, the posts from other threads disappear.

I've been investigating this issue and I have the same guess as you: it is something related to "New posts, unread posts etc" route. Now the reason that happens is still a mystery for me, but I will keep searching for the answer!

Thank you. Fortunately it is not so severe problem, because we now know to refresh the page if we see off-topic messages in threads.
