I know strange things are happening on the forum at present, but the topic count on 'Help with my Plusnet Services' is dropping every time I go back to the forum main page. Someone having a Spring Clean' in late Summer?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Other boards also seem to be shrinking - someone decided to remove 'unflattering' topics?

Just before I go out - at 1137 the count was 662738, as of now (1246)it is 649327. I presume when I return in a couple of hours it will be down to 9327 - if we are lucky.

It appears to be the Broadband forum that is dropping by 200-300 messages per minute. But it doesn't appear to be the oldest that are going first, so I don't know what the criteria for culling the messages are.

Neither do I, @corringham , and no-one from the staff or mod side seem interested in commenting - I have my suspicions, but if I voiced them any response would merely be a 'we don't know' mistruth.

Quite the mystery. 🤔
BT? Aliens? Climate change? Elon Musk?

I would imagine every time the page is refreshed a data base query occurs

Not sure why there has to be some sort of conspiracy theory about anomalies, stuff happens.
Edit: the number of posts seems to be variable, I doubt they are disappearing, may be depends which host you are connected to (there are four)

This is not a 'conspiracy theory', @Dan_the_Van - it is based on observation, but as no-one has come up with an answer, I am going to guess that at least the 'Help with my Plusnet services' set of boards will be displaying about 20 posts by this time tomorrow.
EDIT: the board list I am using as a measure rose in 'number of posts' until around 11AM today, since when it has plummeted.

Unfortunately, this is probably the most interesting thing that has happened here for some time!

Possibly, @corringham , butit still has no explanation, even a 'dodgy' one.

I very much doubt Plusnet support would see this issue as high priority, helping customer on the forum is way down their list of things to do
Yes I agree it's been pretty dull for some months, I put it down to the summer holiday.

Plusnet support? who's that, these days, unless you use Twitface, where they can hide responses.
