Look at the date of that post.

You shouldn't be reading it.

i was reading the pet thread that was made not long ago

i.e. - this thread - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=100013

this page of that thread - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=100013&st=45

That's a commonly reported "bug" that started happening with very old threads after we upgraded to IPB 2.0 and apparently it's one that can't be fixed and/or they don't want to fix. In my experiences it only happens with Mozilla based browsers and not Internet Explorer. As for the technical details of this bug, I forget. Ask a coder. I think it had to do with many board software changes in the past.

I think it tends to only happen to threads older from like 2003 and older, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. It has only ever happened to me in Mozilla. It's a weird "bug" or whatever you want to call it.

I know what you said and I read it. It doesn't matter if recent new posts are made into these old threads. Just the fact that there are old threads is what seems to make this happen. It's only been an issue after the IPB 2 upgrade. Like I said, I don't remember the exact details so you'll have to search around for more information on this.

I have been having this happen too. I was doing some looking into it..and if you install Firefox with everything default it doesn't happen. then I tested more and I got it to work with all the extensions I use. I think it has something to do with one of the speed tricks. Cause in my testing that was the only part I couldn't add back in without it messing up again. If not a speed setting it's one of the custom settings I have in the about:config for sure. Maybe someone can test this and confirm it for me?

I can fix these manually. It just requires editing the post and it fixes itself. If you see one, post here and I'll get it fixed.

Well than that will just leave the rest of the board page layout in these broken threads because that also gets broken looking too, not just the posts. :unsure:

It's still weird that all this only happens in some browsers and not all though. :wacko:

Some threads aren't resurrected, but just stay around a long time, like good software in the software branding forum where new threads are often scarce.

I came to SFI about to post this bug cause it's in a thread I was just looking at, about half way down.

So, timdorr, heres one i found: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=85776

it's on the first page, but then again, my settings are to show as many posts possible per page, so it may be the 2nd or 3rd for you.

As all ready being stated so many times in many other threads like these and in this one...

This seems to only happen in Mozilla browsers and is some unknown bug or other problem related to old forum software we used to use and something in it broke after the last upgrade and it is only affecting some (if not all) very old threads. Sometimes you'll encounter it, sometimes you won't. This is probably something that can not be fixed (at least easily and/or quickly) or we don't want to fix.

Search around in here and the bug tracking section for all the other reports of it. It has been explained better in some threads.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
