The title sums it up.  You can temp fix it by logging out and deleting all cookies.  But it doesn't last.  Sometimes you can avoid it by not using the newest posts link on a thread, but even that doesn't always work.  Mist threads have a negative new posts count, indicating they are essentially broken.  This is happening in every forum on the site.

Noticed this too. Probably shouldn't bother replying as my post probably won't appear. :P

I have alerted staff about this, but this hasn't happened at the best of times.

I though it was just me. Seeing a lot of negative post counts, replies appearing and disappearing randomly.

I'm having the same problems too, and I'm using Internet Explorer 8. Here's hoping that these forums get fixed, and quickly.

Same.  I was hoping this would be fixed by the start of the chaos that is E3, as it's going to be hard enough to keep up with everything updating properly, but it's not looking good.  You guys are probably busy enough as it is with that, so....guess I'll manage.

I am having this issue too. Post counts and thread updates are not displaying correctly. The HTML links for thread updates also result in incomplete display of the thread.

Of course gamespot breaks right before E3, seems appropriately inconvenient. Fix this quick

Well, GameSpot's forums have been broken for a day-and-a-half, as no new forum posts have appeared since 6:30 PM EDT! I can't even visit its unions forums because no new forums posts have appeared since nearly two days ago despite them appearing. When will these forums be fixed? :(

I'll delete my other post because I missed this one due to the stupid bug we are trying to post about. Commencing repost:

Ok the forums have been bugging out and rolling back posts, post history, and threads for the past week, not to mention hangs and 404 errors when posting. Every time I reload the forums it is a crapshoot on whether I get the most recent topics or something from 2 or 3 days ago. Not just limited to forums either, profile page and post history keep rolling back as well. Same issues on both my PC (Firefox) and on my iPad (Safari).

Please get this sorted out quickly since E3 is a high-traffic time and this is really REALLY annoying.

Well, I just found out: If you discover new posts, do not go to the last page first or no new posts will show up. Instead, go to the first page of a topic and then click on the last page, and then new messages will appear. It works as a workaround, and hopefully it will be useful until the glitches in Glitchspot are fixed. :)

As I have stated in the Bonk! thread, it happens every year around this time and it appears it is due to an increase in traffic, especially since kids are getting out of school. This also happens around Christmas vacation as I have noted in the other thread and a thread in the OT forum where someone made a post about the forums being broken. At least in the Bonk! thread, a GS developer had posted in it at least once though I do not know if he has seen the latest posts in it.

If its any consolation, it looks like they fixed the unread inbox issue with this last fix. :P

same issue here - I put it down to the heavy traffic on the site and hope it will have all sorted itself out in the morning. Looks like Fuse has also gone down

It's been two days now and still no fixes. Even worse, more spammers are running rampant. Can't GS do something? And the Contributions page is the same as nearly 3 days ago!

This is becoming more than annoying.  I can barely navigate the forums without having to spam the reload button like 20 times per page before it loads properly.  C'mon GS.

it's kinda sad that at E3, the peak of videogame discussion, many people (me included) are just giving up on the forums, at least until they get fixed (i doubt it'll be fixed before E3 ends).

It's June 12th, but when I go to a board, the last post for every thread is listed as being June 9th...

I can rarely get forum pages to even load up with the posts. Almost every time I have to click refresh multiple times to every get the posts to display, and sometimes I just give up after numerous tries. 

So Gamespot, when did you say that new site design was coming?

I'm also getting the same problems that everyone else is getting. Every time I go into the PGD, it's like as if it's stuck with the same old page, so I have to hit the refresh button a million times before it actually loads up properly. On top of that, even when I reply to a new post, it's there, but when I refresh, it's gone. Please fix this Gamespot!

Hmm. I've not seen any forum glitches so far. Even my contributions page has new posts so far. I can tell it may be fixed. :)

Still looking good so I'll close this thread up. If the problem starts again, please open a new thread.
