If you look at the forum index at  
[http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/ruby](http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/ruby)  
you’ll see a thread titled “Camping or Merb”, and it says the last post  
was 8 hrs ago by Mark T

However if you follow the link to the thread, the bottom post is by me  
about 5 days ago (on 2010-10-09 13:30)

It doesn’t matter if I’m logged into the forum or not.

At least this post is missing:  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/371775](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/371775)

I can see there have been a number of UI changes recently. There’s a  
link “Enable multi-page view” which I’ve just tried enabling and  
disabling, but it seems to make no difference.

Could the forum admin have a look please?

Thanks,

Brian.

Oops, you’re right. Fortunately it’s a simple case of a cache not  
expired correctly, so nothing is lost. The problem is fixed now.

There was actually a big change in the backend recently; [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com)  
had been running on a very old version of Rails and RForum,  
and I finally managed to get it up to the current version a few days  
ago. The only notable visible improvements until now are the search (now  
sunspot/solr-based) and the OpenID login, but the main advantage is that  
it’s a lot easier to implement new features now without messing  
everything up.

It enables pagination for VERY long threads (200 post per page). It is a  
feature from another forum I run with the same software  
([Forum - Mikrocontroller.net](http://www.mikrocontroller.net/forum/)), I realize it is not of that  
much use on [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com), where all threads are well below 100 posts.
