Misordered posts are a side effect of clocks on the servers being out of sync. The code isn't really written to run on multiple servers simultaneously so gets it's time source from the server it's running on. If a server is a minute or two off the others then the time of the posts will be off by the same amount which may cause an ordering problem in the listing.

I've setup clock synchronization on the servers so they should remain within a second of each other. It will have to do until I can overhaul the software.

Is that also effecting the disappearance of posts?

I think it was the date/time issue. Posts may have been filed ahead or behind where they should have been. All of the servers are now time synchronized so they should all have the same concept of what time it is. Hopefully that's all it was because it was an easy fix.

I've had a couple disappear over the last couple days. Here's an example where I'm quoted but my post is gone

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...c=388753&st=50

It's in the 13th post down user mikegarrison

It also happened today in the Arizona forum so I just retyped it. The commonality is that I used the fast reply box (like I'm doing now :crossesfingers: ).
