The general chitchat thread is broken for me. I can only see comments from page 1045 but we're on 1048 now . It was like it a couple hours ago but I left it to see will it fix itself but its still broke. @Chloe234 said it happened on the counting thread for them so I don't think it's just the chitchat thread. Every other thread works for me though
also, don't drafts automatically save anymore? I really liked that feature it was so helpful and I liked to write stuff and never post it lol but they arent saving for me automatically anymore. It was good for when you accidentally click off the page. Saves you writing it all back out.
MOD EDIT:

MOD EDIT:
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.

Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
Want to talk crap about me…go on then
Want to make me cry…feel free
I’m still having this issue where I can’t see comments
you have to go back to through the numbers to find the chat unfortunately lol.
it's not something that majorly bothers me but just thought i'd let you know too
Yep, both the count to 10,000 and general chit chat threads are like it for me
We've heard back from our tech team and they think it's to do with too many comments on the threads but they are looking to fix this very soon for us!
They are also fixing the drafts bug too
You need to go back a couple of pages to see the recent comments @Amy22, I think it’s page 1046. Tbf that is a lot of posts for a single thread, there’s 30 per page so that’s over 31,000 posts. In one thread!!!
