I created a post in the RIP thread and it went up fine and I can see it when I am logged in. I had a quick look after logging out to check on a possible typo and it was not visible to me then. That seemed very strange, so I logged back in and I could see it again. I had edited it twice for content.Here is the current version; I am not sure why this might happen. Many thanks to Admin for working on all of the complexities behind the scenes and no urgency here, just letting you know. The thread listing (outer Forum layer) does show a post by me at 8:30 am/1:30 pm as being the last one on that thread.Off Topic All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

along this line, the other day i continued to appear in the list of users currently logged in after I had logged out.

Does a kind of sweep periodically.Cuch or outrun would know how that works, but who's on and who's off is not like posting or editing a post, which happens more or less instantly.My problem here could be related to some networking issues that I am trying to figure out (may just need a new wireless router) and/or deprecated browser use on older machines. I get error messages more and more often these days - aside from things on Forum side, pages hang, don't load at all, etc. Not just W but elsewhere too - so that would clearly not be Admin's problem. (And I am not seeking advice on that - I will handle it - thanks!)

It's not just trackster's post or being logged out. There's a flaw in the "Last" button on that thread that takes one to:http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm? ... =54instead of:http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm? ... PAGE=55The forum DB thinks page 54 is the last one, but it's not.

It's the ghost of the RIP thread non-death, parallel universes. I remember a Roger Moore film just like this.P
