Alright, there have been at least two posts that I know of in the Dominic Deegan thread in Webcomics, but neither of them are visible. What should I do?

EDIT: Hey, now they're back. Thanks a bunch!

If you can't see the latest posts, hit reply and you should normally be able to read them in the little preview when you scroll down on the reply page. If someone makes a reply to the thread it often fixes itself but it's frowned upon to post just to fix a thread.

Now all we have to do is figure out how to get sunglasses on the posts, and then we'll be good.

We really ought to have a stickied "Technical Problem FAQ" thread to cover things like this....

Pretty much this. If you know a post is there but the forum won't let you see it, you can hit reply (but don't actually reply!) and the post will be shown in the Topic Review section below the Reply to Thread input section.

You can also change the number of posts displayed per page in your control panel, or view the post individually if you have the link to the individual post.

I believe something similar has been suggested in the past, but the general reaction is that most forum users don't bother reading sticky posts anyway, so it wouldn't prevent too much in the way of thread creation- I could be wrong on that though...

Even when there were six threads discussing this very issue on the front page, people still posted new ones.
