They need to allocate more "resources" to the site. My understanding is that they are allocating more of one particular type of resource than they typically would in order to solve the problem, because this site uses that particular resource in a way that does not overload the server. They are hesitant to do this, so I think they are only making a small increase at a time.

Ok - I did a Google search & couldn't find any other site having the same problem.

Is that some sort of voodoo spin language to the effect that there is only one problem, but it manifests itself all over the busiest Threads a 'zillion' times?

More voodoo. It happens in the busiest Threads and no one needs to know about off sets by 1 or 2 even.

I'd just like to see it not happen here at all, like it does not happen anywhere else I post at, or have posted at.

Reply #25 - Mar 1^st, 2014 at 9:30am I have been waiting to experience the problem so that I could test an idea, but unfortunately it hasn't arisen when I have been around: On the boards indexes clicking a topic title will switch the posts sequence between 'most recent' and 'oldest'. Does clicking this have the same result (forcing the page flip) as using a 'bump'?

Reply #29 - Mar 2^nd, 2014 at 3:14pm I've seen this issue on other YaBB boards, it's probably an anomaly caused by the data collection techniques of spy agencies. EVERYTHING gets saved now, for your future blackmail and prosecution.
