in Propeller 1
Seeing our "The New 16-Cog, 512KB, 64 analog I/O Propeller Chip" thread has disappeared for no apparent reason I decided to check the Tachyon OS thread and couldn't find it. I clicked on "My Discussions" and it wasn't there. I clicked on an open tab that had been left on that thread and I get "Discussion Not Found".
Both these threads had over a quarter million views and thousands of replies, perhaps the system is reprocessing threads and gagging on these long threads?

Anyway, WTF is going on with this forum?
> and thousands of replies,
Yes and it hence was near impossible to find anything.
It's just silly to stuff anything remotely related to Tachyon Forth or the Propeller 2 into a single thread.
apod.com seems to have a hard limit of one or two pages. I think Parallax should consider similar.
and the simple solution is just post very little or create hundreds of threads instead? The problem was not with the length of the thread but the useless search function and no proper tags. Just like the World WIde Web, all those pages would be useless if we didn't have the likes of Google and Yahoo etc. Now Parallax has Google search functions (with ads!) and to make the search function more efficient they just shot the big ones, see, no problem now........
BTW, for someone who has hardly ever posted like yourself it is a very narrow point of view.
You're probably in luck that Chip's thread disappeared as well. There are now two incentives to make the problem bubble to the top of the kettle. I do hope that the content of both threads can be retrieved!

I have never been able to start a thread, nor pinch to expand.
It would be better for the forum software not to detect mobile devices as the can usually handle normal displays quite well nowadays rather than attempt and deliver a broken system.
that is August 28
I did a download then to be able to read it offline outside at the lake ...
but I hope Parallax has a backup as Ken stated
and can restore it soon

Can anyone verify that it actually went missing, or did the new Google search tool just point to the wrong URL?

Phil,
With your link I can only get back to August 12th of last year.
I don't know what that is but the last page is #35 dated January 2014 !
WTF is going on here?
I start to wonder if the recent error in the forum servers idea of time is something to do with this.
I see a post from June 2010 2015. Maybe it is fixed.
#latest doesn't work, forcing a page number does.
I see the last page as 45, so there are probably browser inconsistencies. If you ditch #latest and use /p48 do you see the last page?
my download from 2015-08-28 shows 70 pages so more than 20 newest pages are missing
There is no #latest in the link given: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/141061
Going there now I see the last page is: June 10: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1332186/#Comment_1332186
And the second to last post is November 2014: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1302412/#Comment_1302412
This is totally screwed.
This is all mega-screwed.
Some minutes ago I hit the link that Phil gave: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/141061
When it loaded it seemed every post had a couple of lines of red text added. That seemed odd but I continued.
Now I go back and there is no such red text to be seen.
The only thing I remember about the content of the red text is "explorer" and "blocking".
Did I imagine that. Am I going crazy?
WTF is going on here?
Getting closer....
What about this link - http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/141061/tachyon-o-s-furiously-fast-forth-compact-bytecode-interactive-fat32-lan-vga-more/p48
Does that work for you?
Lol... Never mind. It's obvious the post is changing in the number of pages as we speak.
Sure enough that link gets me to page #48 from about June 2014. It indicates the last page is #56 which has a last post from October 2014. http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1299923/#Comment_1299923
seems to be loaded VERY slowly
