New Posts on Threads?

I posted on a thread this morning around 9am. Twice now, once around 11am and now at about 2:20pm EST, the thread showed up under new posts w/ my post as the most recent and no posts after it. I also noticed this w/ another member's post in thread as well. And that thread hadn't had a new post in quite a while. Could this possibly be part of the cause of the old threads popping up and people posting on them without looking to see the date of the last posting? This doesn't bother me, per se, but I'm just wondering if you know what may be causing it. I'd suggest my screwing work computer, but it doesn't normally do this and it's only happened on 2 threads over the course of about a week.
 
i noticed this too, definitely something wrong

(the bumping of old threads is also due, in part, to the "similar threads" list at the bottom of each thread)
 
Well for one, Reffoxel's post on this thread kept showing up on my new posts list with new, incorrect times... but when I loaded the thread it was still the same old post (with the correct time) http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53246

There were others, but I can't recall. I think one of them may have been the "going down" thread? Katie, do you remember?

There has also been an occasional problem where all of my new posts will become unread even if I have read them since that time. Just a matter of them becoming bold again, not incorrect times or new notifications.
 
The last post times are updated periodically because it's very database intensive. I think. Not 100% sure. That's the only thing I can think of.
 
Yeah it's happened to me a bunch too. VB 3 final is out now, BTW :cool:

yes polls make the thread pop back up. Atleast on all of my Vb boards that I run do that.

just a thought
 
The updates are made in low priority in the database. They are queued and all run in a batch, much faster, instead of running them all as soon as they occur. This greatly reduces database load.
