I replied to this thread in the Civ 2 scenario forum, and I get one of those black dots on the forum icon, but it doesn't register me as being the last poster.

Can anyone explain what has happened here please?

I think I have seen that before. sometimes it doesn't update correctly. can anyone confirm?

Load-reducing measures on the server. It automatically stops doing certain updates when there is a heavy load.

I notice it more when I'm impatient and back/refresh instead of waiting for the server to finish. Of course, I only do this when there's a heavy load, so...

Skanky did you just copy that post from the last time this was asked?

[Skanky Burns]

That would require searching for the previous thread first. If this thread proves anything, no-one can be bothered doing that.

I think it's just a mantra that we've been told over and over and it stuck in Skanky's head.

ACK!

[duke o' york]

But is it true?

Maybe "the old lie" is trotted out time and again to scare children and foolhardy posters. It is not as scary, however, as the terrible truth!

[DrSpike]

Yes it's all a conspiracy to hide the fact that you posted last.
