a little glitch

Noticed a few minutes ago as i was looking at the Home page of the forums that the newest reply in the "General Discussion Forum" belonged to Debbiejo, but the thread it was in showed as blank. Now....i went in (it was actually in the Philosophy forum) and saw which thread it was ("When something makes sense").
I wrote up a reply, entered it, and then it showed me as the last poster in the GDF, and this time it also showed the thread's name. Lemme show you:

it happens when someone posts something in a subsection. In the GDF you have a philosophy section, perhaps she posted there?

I already said she did in the first post. However, when i posted in the subsection, it showed the name of the thread. It was the exact same conditions, except me instead of debbiejo. Also, i've never seen it happen to other subsections before. When someone posts in the comic book forum or the hulk forum or the (former) Blade forum, it would show the name of the thread as well as the name of the poster. That's why i said this is prolly some sort of glitch. messed

Yeah, you spot that every so often with a subsection post.

Also, when two people post in the same area very close together, sometimes the last post displayed will be one of the posters, but the link will take you to the other.,

Aha.....mkay, prolly just a small glitch determined by the large input of posts messed

..........or just something specific to vB bulletin boards, since i've seen it before on other vB boards as well.

I'm still unsure why this happens. If someone could give me the steps to reproduce this, it would help greatly finding the bug.

I've seen that happen occasionally when someone's posted in a thread that was afterwards moved.

I replied to a thread at 01:12 PM in the Philosophy Forum. Eleveninches created a thread in the GDF at 01:13 PM but it seems as if he replied after me in the same thread in the Philosophy Forum.
He just created a second thread in the GDF (01:13 PM) and the link in the philosophy forum is still on display.
Everything is back to normal now dave123 replied to "Was Tom Cruise right about psychology?".

Raz- just deleted four bad threads from the SW vs. area- immediately created the above effect. Might be a way to re-create it?

Just noticed another symptom of this I have seen a few times-

Wickerman just posted a poll in the GDF, yet the link from the main page says his post is in the thread below it, rather than being a new poll.

I do sometimes see poll threads being 'ignored' by the main page like that.
