I am still working on the double-topic bug, the bug in which two topics become merged together, often with repeated messages. (This is a new bug, not to be confused with the similar old bug…) Earlier today, the double-topic bug merged a forum bug report from one of our members with a post from Tango01. The topic could not be fixed, so it was deleted. The forum bug report was that for some members, the main forum list on the homepage was truncated by an error report. This was a corrupted notice in the cache, which was fixed… …but apparently caused another bug, as the Sad Day at TMP topic has now disappeared. So there's another issue I should go investigate. Apologies for the glitches!

Be patient Bill. You will work it all out in the long run. Don't let it get you discouraged. We're all rooting for you! We appreciate all the hard work you do to give us this forum.

To be honest, I am enjoying the opportunity to really dig into the code. I'm currently in the forum maintenance code… and by the way, the post count is fixed. But that fix broke the stats page.

Yes, that's on my list of Things To Look At. But the forum is at the top of my list. I want to get as much coding done as I can before the editors are gone, as I won't have as much time after that.
