So I was looking at a thread when it suddenly changed to a different thread title and reply count. The OP also changed.

Thanks for reporting this. It sounds like something made the page load a different thread. There isn't anything I'm aware of that should make this happen randomly so this is strange!

Has this just happened once? Is the thread below in the screenshot the one you were viewing or the one that it changed to? Had you viewed the thread that was changed to or was it one you had never looked at before?

No need to apologise for reporting things! 🙂 The feedback is useful as these odd issues shouldn't happen and fixing them improves the site for everyone. Thanks for letting us know. We do try our best to fix things as soon as we can.

It happens occasionally.The reply number is the "word association thread" reply number but the user and actual reply content are from the "Is it really too late to change a subject?". I watch both threads and was switching from one thread to the other thread but I can't remember what way round.

Thanks that's good to know. Its loading the posts from one thread but with the title and page count of the other as you explained, I just didn't quite get it! I'll log a bug for it but it might be one we don't get to fix soon if its not happening regularly. When it happens, does refreshing the page fix it?
