Faulty margarine/divorce thread

[meditrina]

Is this all part of the general crankiness?

I started this thread about th link between margarine and divorce yesterday.

I didn't see it in Active just after posting it, and thought it had simply dropped down quickly. It wasn't in Unanswered Messages, but no-one else had posted on it. I posted on it again this morning (checking the timings) and again, not in Active Convos.

Now, it's possible that no-one will ever find this thread interesting enough to want to post on it, and I shall continue as Billie-no-mates.

But threads aren't meant to be shy and never on view, surely?

You have posted it in Science and Nature club - you might not have S +N c in your chosen topics hence not seeing your thread?

Also lots of posters might have opted out of S+N c too

Yes, I have not hidden S&N club, and see other threads there.

I know others may not see the topic, and it's not the lack of responses that bothers me (as I feel overlooked on here all the time )

It is that the thread is not appearing in Active. Which I thought might be a fault.

Oh RIGHT gotcha!

Hi there,

That sounds odd. You could try posting on it again and seeing if it appears in active once you've done so?

Thanks for getting on to this! I've just tried posting again, and it still doesn't seem to be in Active.

And I have been back into customise, and S&N club is definitely in my "included" topics.

Gremlin thread or snafu topic? Or just me missing something bleedin' obvious?

I posted on the thread earlier and it didn't show up in 'active' then either.

'Tis a gremlin thread, I reckon.

Oh dear yes, it does look like a gremlin thread. Would you mind starting an identical one in S+N and we can see if the same thing happens? (Blame us for the repetition if anyone asks...)

Seen and about to do!

As requested on the site issues thread I'm about to start a duplicate, and see if it is gremlin free.

Oops - trying to tie all three threads together and posting onto the wrong ones!

I restarted the thread at 19:36, and it did not appear in active, not in "unanswered messages'.

I'll post on it again to add clicky links, but not yet (in case leaving it missing from unanswered helps you diagnose).

Hmmm... from my entirely unscientific testing, it looks like S&N threads aren't appearing in Active at all

We'll get someone to have a look

Thanks Rowan.

I luffs S&N.

Thank you Rowan!

And encouraging for you and Tech

OK, we've toggled the relevant button - do you want to test again?

Sorry about this, no idea why it was set like that...

I have never seen Science and Nature threads in Active. Ever. In fact, I didn't even know such as category existed!

Yippee!

I have just posted on it, and it's there in Active.

More ?

(I hope no other topics are thus afflicted).

I think this thread proves conclusively that there is a correlation between presence of and absence of gremlins.
