At the latest Kiss or Kill thread (link to current page (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61087&page=21)) there seems to be a glitch between posts 600 and 601. They are switching places every time I see them. First I see Malmagor Andrigal's post as 600 and mine as 601, and the next time I check it my post is 600 and Malmagor's is 601. It has happened all through the morning. It should be verified...

I can't reproduce it -- you're always #601.

I think it happens every time someone posts. I was 601 a moment ago, but I have just posted after I'm Da Rogue and then switched places again. Check it now

It may only happen when *you* post.

But I think right now Mal is 601... Let me post again and re check...

EDIT: I think it might have stopped since we changed page...
Wait, it happened again...

Maybe:

You both posted at EXACTLY the same time. It is possible, and so the forum is confused.

Every time someone posts it re-does parts of the thread..

((Oh and I confirm it too))

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Talk about small probabilities... And that kind of things will never ever happen in the simu thread...

But each post has a unique ID, and it would make sense if the posts were to be ordered by ID, which is guaranteed to be unique, rather than timestamp, which isn't.

I've seen this happen before, sometimes just with the thread order disagreeing with the "Review Thread" section at the bottom of the post window.
