Messgae post linking problems?

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with post numbering in a forum thread, where a reply appears twice as post #20. After deleting the duplicate, both the original post and a preceding one are now displayed as #19. There was also a brief error message indicating a potential link issue. Despite the numbering confusion, subsequent posts are incrementing correctly. The situation remains under observation for further developments.

I posted a reply a moment ago in this thread:
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-do-i-calculate-this.773261/

My post appeared twice, and both were identified as post #20 in the top right corners. I refreshed the page and same display. Checked my posts from profile and sure enough, two messages. So... I deleted the second post #20. Now my post and the one from Ali preceding it are both display as #19.

Also, I swear I saw a message that read something like "link broken" or "record not found" or something 'not good' flash on the screen as the page displays. But it looks O.K. except fr the numbering...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
'been watching. I saw that when Voko added a post, the pair of 19's (Ali and me) remained the same. Waited for another shoe to drop, yet DrStupid added another post a few minutes ago. The thread is now on a second page and post numbering is incrementing as expected, except for the two #19 posts.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
