Hello everyone! I come bearing tidings of great joy (tech updates)

Draft autosave: Something has broken here so the techies that maintain the software we use are investigating and will let us know of any new developments. We could fix it by switching the type of text editor we use, but that would come with accessibility drawbacks, so for now we're going to stick with BBCode until the issue resolves. We'll keep you all posted on that.

Timeout errors: These were related to a bug that has now been fixed, so you should see less of these. Some timeout errors are inevitable with any website so don't worry too much unless you're seeing them a lot more than usual.

Thread pages are empty: Turns out this is because the 'true' number of comments in the thread is higher than the amount you guys can see.

For a bunch of different reasons, sometimes posts are hidden from view. For short threads, that doesn't really matter because it's usually only one or two. However, for big threads like Count To 10k, the amount of hidden posts is high enough that it covers multiple pages. That's because the thread covers so much time and so many different accounts, so the hidden posts mount up.

That means you're seeing the 'true' number of pages for the discussion, but a much lower post count, which results in empty pages being shown at the end of the thread.

BUT, the most recent posts you can see are actually the most recent posts.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, as always!
