Posts Disappear and Reappear and General Wierdness

Had several posts disappear and reappear. Leading to rewrites of posts and double posts and deletes and over-deletes. And whatnot.

Something's really really borked right now. Like the forums don't properly sychronize or something.

Oh - I posted in Hailinels blog from the forums, and it shows up correctly on his blog, but completely out-of-synch on the forums.

I know that when the servers have been slow it's taken a while for stuff to start appearing, but I've never heard of them vanishing and coming back. Weird.

It also presents trouble deleting posts. So duplicate responses just stay instead of veing removed when Delete is selected. It's bizarre.

Chances are this is replication lag or something that ends up messing up the cache, not sure what we can do other than get beefier servers. Will look into it.

@ltsquigs: I've noticed quite a bit of this today, and it definitely seems like some sort of caching issues. I made a post earlier today, and when I looked at that thread on the forum feed, it showed that the latest post was from me. Inside the thread on the other hand, it took 5-10 minutes for the post to appear.
