( or they can simply hide the thread temporarily ) Just because i'm indifferent about a thread doesn't mean i want it deleted. Besides, i'm always happy when it comes to STAR WARS. ---err, except maybe when i watch Ep. 9 Ruse of Byewalker I'm not convinced it is that thread. There is a thread on the Flashpoint section (on page 1 currently) that is 431 pages. That section doesn't drag like the general section does.

Hopefully u guys can all remember to test and see for yourself if/when that 'Theron' thread eventually gets pushed over to Page 2 of General Discussion soon. 7 minutes ago, Toraak said: There is a thread on the Flashpoint section (on page 1 currently) that is 431 pages. That section doesn't drag like the general section does. If you mean the 'weird people in groupfinder' thread then yes i noticed that one and already inspected it and my theory is twofold: First, that other section runs differently than this multi-layered General Discussion area does ( different formatting & sub-sectioning & such ) . Second, there's something about the way General Discussion threads originally started in the OLD forums were cached/converted over to these new forum systems. This can best be seen sometimes when you google search for a thread and click it (from within google ui ) and it will appear slightly varied in format IF it was found in General Discussion or any of it's previous sub-sections. But again: the only way to verify is to wait for 'Theron' thread to clear organically and see if this section indeed starts to load fast/normal again. Then i'll either be correct in my assessment and maybe it will help BioWare fix things. Or...i'll be wrong and my usual umm forum "fans" can enjoy a day-of-drooling at my error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That theron Shan thread was also in the old forums. That has been around for years as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an interesting theory and really, any explanation for the lag is appreciated if it leads to a solution. Even if you're wrong, it outraged the Theron fans so you still accomplished something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, and i stated this earlier but it might've gotten lost in all the back&forth: It isn't even about the 'Theron' thread specifically. It has happened before with ANY super large/long type massive thread that ends up bumping onto this Page 1 of General Discussion section. ( i noticed it before but i thought maybe it was because i hadn't 'marked all as read' yet ) The only way i can "prove" this is for everyone to see, eventually, the difference when the only current super large/long thread here in General Discussion page 1 area ( happens to be 'Theron' thread this time ) goes into Page 2 area. 41 minutes ago, Toraak said: That has been around for years as well. Yep i know but what i meant was: Some of the old sections converted differently than others ( into new forums ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
