Hi Friends:

Edit: After Logman's comment in post #2, I numbered the items below. Personally, I see nothing confusing either before or after, but whatever.

1. Assume, for example, that I post on a topic and, thus, I appear as the last poster.

2. Now, say I leave and come back to my still running computer and notice that I remain the last poster.

3. Then, suppose I refresh the page by, for example, clicking "Site Comments & Suggestions" link above and that, after doing so, I still remain the last poster--having actually gone to my last post and confirmed that there are no posts after mine.

4. Then, let's say I reply to another post on the same thread and still appear as the last poster.

Well, I always follow the procedures mentioned above, but later, when I come back to the thread, there may be any number of posts between my two posts. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Regardless, does anyone have any idea what is happening? I have never experienced this sort of scenario anywhere else.

 

Hmmm... it sounds like your browser is not fully refreshing the page in that middle step there. Then again I'm still confused after re-reading your message 3 times, sounds wierd.

 

You got it right. And, you are right about the page not being refreshed. The only thing I wonder about is why only on our forum. I don't get it. It's sort of disconcerting to realize that I have ignored many posts when posting a second time. But, of course, I can go back and fix things largely, but cannot eliminate the out of tempo post completely. This happened yesterday when replying on the "How to create signature pic?" thread.

Incidentally, did you see my questions at the end of the thread mentioned above? In this regard, shouldn't all HTML be gone from sigs automatically--which, among other things, would make sig pics go away. Or does each individual have to become aware of the new rules and fix his or her sig appropriately?

 

html is no longer allowed but BBcode is still allowed so images and stuff can still be used using the usual img tags and such just like in regular posts.

 

Oh, I see. Thanks.
