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.
