OK, this is not the first time I notice this, and there are reasons at times with post count not going up. (Like under Community.) This morning my post count was 992/993, now it is 991? So suddenly 1 or 2 posts are gone, and my post count lowered. I know posts in community do not count, but I do know that it was slightly higher this morning. It is not the amount that makes me make this post, but curiosity.

And as I mentioned before, this is not the first time I noticed my post count was suddenly lower. I get that at times a clean up needs to be done, but that cleaning up also lowers a persons post count by who knows how many is not fair in my opinion.
That happens for example, if certain thread like from forum section Security News needed to be removed/deleted for some reason, then all posts to this topic are also deleted automatically...
 
Getting this when I try to post a reply to OSA's thread:

Found out what was the issue, somehow there is a filter when writing a post that seems to block these keywords (attached as image to prevent the block):

false-positives-content-filtering.png

I guess a false positive in the content filtering probably.

After removing the above keywords from the text, the reply was posted fine.
 
I'm not angry or upset, but I'm really not a fan of how Bot is combining multiple posts into one reply. But, it does cover a lot of bases that way. That's all, cheers :) :)
 
I always thought that Linux was rock solid, seemingly it has a weak vulnerable spot. :)
I've found like most tools when used improperly the results will not be satisfactory. Some of us can use Linux for years without those issues, but we actually take time to learn the system, not just tinker with it and apps.
 
I agree, it's pretty random.
It's usually not a huge deal, but I remember one occasion where I couldn't like a post I actually wanted to, even if I refreshed the page.

I'm using the newer dark geometric theme. Is it related? I only remember it arising after the redesign a little while back. It seems like a curious consequence to have from forum theming.

I'm using the default light theme, with Dark Reader, so I'm not sure as I only used Geometric for an hour and went back to light.
