Since changing my avatar to enter into the Christmas spirit, I no longer have a 'Reputation' option under My Profile

Kind of related, but one didn't cause the other. There's some kind of problem with the rep tab preventing some people from accessing their profile page, which is where avatars are changed, so I've disabled that tab for now. Once I've worked out what the problem is (which I'm hoping will also give me clues for similar problems elsewhere) and got it fixed, I'll re-enable it

I suspect there are some interesting issues within the caching code

The caching system itself is actually really good - I was impressed by it once I'd single-stepped through it to suss out exactly how it works. The application code that uses the caching system, on the other hand…

Deleted threads appear on the front page after being deleted

edit to add - until a new post ‘ thread is created

[eek]

Mods/admin see different post counts/post numbers because of deleted posts being visible to them, as eek surmised. I can look into giving them both counts, but I'd need to have a think about it. (Post numbers would be complicated.) There's other things I should maybe concentrate on first though

The other thing is almost certainly to do with ignored posts, which I believed I'd fixed; apparently not. I'll create a test setup with a user that ignores suitable accounts to let me get a handle on what's going on. (I don't ignore anyone, so I don't see it.)

if it helps I end up on page 34418 at the moment instead of page 34671 so 253 pages or 2530 posts different - so I suspect I have different people on ignore.

The page changes to page 33805 if I ignore DoctorStrangelove and then (but only after I create a post). It remained at page 34418 until I added a post and the index page was refreshed.

For reference DoctorStangelove is no longer on ignore before Zeity get's annoyed.

Correction: it takes me to the same place page 30422 rather than page 30671, same when logged out as when logged in.

2490 posts early, which is a slightly strange number.

[eek]

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

I did notice that even when logged out the go to last post thing dumps me about 10,000 posts early in the thread.

Another feature.

Not to mention the "hit refresh five times" to actually fecking see something feature.

The former bit will be because of the number of people you have on ignore (that is a bug that I think Nick knows how to fix but it requires time and testing to do so).

The latter bit is because likes and thanks is a separate routine that consumes cpu time so pages with a lot of likes and thanks have a risk of timing out.
