By the way, the platform the forum is built on is not the greatest, it can't track read/unread posts and forums properly, and links to specific pages get confused in very long threads. phpBB is so much better imo... but probably no chance for migration.

[what I said above is of course not related to yesterday outage, I just needed to rant a bit]
There are 15 minute shutdowns at 9 and 1 am every day. I presume it is server backup.


The tracking in long threads only gets messed up if there are a pile of "deleted" posts. Those posts don't relay go away they just become invisible to us. They are actually still there and the Mods can see them. Since they are taking up page space that makes the thread look like it has a bunch of phantom pages. There are very long threads where nothing was deleted that are still perfectly in line..
