I am cleaning off my desk and I unearthed a note I had written to myself many months ago about a possible bug. I had written a post in the RSU forum and later noticed that the post hadn't made it to the newsgroup. The only unusual action was that I took an unusually long time to compose the message. It was an active thread so in the mean time several posts had been made in the thread while I was composing the reply.
Here's a scenario that may reproduce the bug. I haven't actually tested to confirm because it is not convenient to try on the live forum and live newsgroup.
- start a reply to an existing thread
- let the reply sit in the message editor window for 10 or more minutes
- someone else posts a reply to the same thread while you are composing the reply
- post your reply
Will your reply make it to the newsgroup?
Of course there could have been other causes. This just seems like a plausible scenario to test as a possible cause.
