Many of us have complained about his over and over. The browser gets blamed. This rarely happened on the old sites. This site is optimized for Google chrome for some reason.

I use Chrome and I've had trouble finding some threads I'd just seen too. Sometimes only minutes before! I'm trying to remember to open up the main page and then right click on a thread I want to see and opening it in another. That's the only way I can think of not to lose what I saw on the main page.

I'm even having trouble googling for gardenweb topics. Is this it?

maybe I am delusional but I think that is the thread, Delilah BUT I could swear it had more recent updates. now I am wondering if I imagined it?

You are not delusional, Sheila. I saw the thread you are referencing just last night. I'm fairly sure it was the same thread that was linked above, but if definitely had more recent updates. I just read it last night, but I can't remember what the most recent book suggestions were unortunately. Strange that the thread exists but without the most recent comments!

Phew! Yes- I figured that out chispa- when threads seemed to have no current update but showed up as recently updated. and Thank you 4kids4us for validating me:). I was seriously thinking that maybe I only thought about the thread but I am so relieved that you also saw it.

You aren't crazy. The thread did pop up a few days ago-- someone posted a "review" and link to what was clearly his own self-published book. I am guessing the admins deleted his post as spam.. sending the topic back a few pages.

I think I do remember that, Funkyart. Still, I had not seen the last post by Sueb20 before (53 books..). Some good ones there!

Well I just bit the bullet and added a comment to the thread you linked. I am curious if that will show up. I guess if not, maybe it's time for a fresh new one?:)

I pop in here a few times a day to just browse and will see new threads that were started 10-12 hours earlier but weren't there the last time I was in. I'm wondering if a thread becomes unavailable to everyone else if someone else has it open and is reading or responding to it.

Lukki, I don't think it's the case that a thread becomes unavailable if someone else has it open or is reading/responding. Can you just imagine how frustrating that would be? :) I know for a fact that I can be responding myself and when I hit submit, another post will appear right above that wasn't there before. So at least two of us were posting at the same time.

True...just seems so weird...
