Thread says OP has updated but nothing appears

[OneOliveOtter]

I’m viewing a couple of threads where it says that the OP has updated at say 22:30 but when I click on the final page, there haven’t been any updates and they are not loading. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Could be troll posts which have been deleted?

Hi there @OneOliveOtter. Could you post links to the threads where this is happening and we'll take a look?

I've noticed this happening too. Telly addicts threads on Coronation Street and Emmerdale say they have been updated today but the last posts on them are from last night. I'm using Chrome on my Android mobile.

Me too - a podcast one has gone back to the top of my list in "I'm watching" but the last post on that thread is back in March.

I've seen that kind of thing happen and it is usually where it's been bumped by some kind of spam bot. Rather than leave the deleted post with the deletion message MNHQ somehow zaps the entire post and it will disappear but the "last updated" time of the thread doesn't change so it looks out of order in TIO or other places.

I'm having this as well. I can see there have been new posts, when I go to the thread I can only see posts from a day or more ago, but those posts are dated as being posted today (sometimes with a time which is later than the time I'm reading the thread). It's happening on my phone, ipad and laptop (Firefox). Sometimes I can fix it by flipping the thread, when several more pages appear, but that doesn't always work. It's happening on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5349528-please-help-me-send-an-email-to-our-chief-exec-who-has-announced-they-are-ignoring-the-supreme-court and this one https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5350068-good-law-practice-launch-a-ehcrsupreme-court-challenge-over-toilets?flipped=1&page=1

Hi @CancelTheSkip, thanks for letting us know about this. We have checked the thread, and the reason this went to the top of your Watch list is because there was a new post on the thread but it was spam, so the post had to be deleted by our Community team. Sorry for the confusion this has caused.

Hi @OneOliveOtter, please could you share with us the links to the threads that this is happening on? Could you also let us know where you saw the message that the 'OP has updated at 22:30' - was it a web notification, an email, or somewhere else on site? If you could also share your device and browser info, that would be great. Once we have this information we can try to get to the bottom of this. Thank you!

Hi @Opinionpolecat thanks for letting us know about this, that shouldn't be happening. So we can understand better exactly what is going on, would you please be able to get a screen recording of this happening and send it to: [email protected]

Thank you.

I don't know how to do a screen recording but here is what happens on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5353762-nhs-policy-audit-working-party-thread-3

I click on the thread and it says there are only 4 pages (I should have 25 posts per page). When I go page 4, it says the posts are from today (they aren't). If I flip the thread from page 4, it now has 11 pages. When I go to page 11, it now has 12 pages, but if try to go to page 1 to see the latest posts, it goes back to only having 6 pages and not showing me anything more recent. If the thread is flipped and I go to page 12 and unflip it, it then only has 4 pages again. This is what happened before I signed in, but when I sign in this thread seems to have the full 12 pages. Other threads have been no different if I'm signed in or not

Thanks @Opinionpolecat, this is really helpful and we are looking into the issue - we will let you know when we have an update on this. Could you please let us know, how are you navigating to this thread? For example, is it via 'Threads I'm On' or 'Saved'?

I'm just going to the threads from the main board index

Hi all, thanks for your patience as we look into this. This should now be fixed but please let us know if this is not the case.
