Preview and message disagreements

  • Thread starter Bystander
  • Start date
In summary, there was a thread in the Physics forum about the strength of hydrogen bonds, but the preview only showed a few lines and an attempt at answering the question. When the thread was opened, the first post was short and did not have the same level of detail as the preview. However, it was discovered that the thread had been duplicated in the Homework Help section, which may have caused some confusion. It was later determined that the issue was likely due to a cache problem. The duplicate thread was eventually found and removed.

Preview (hovering the cursor over thread title) shows half dozen lines, and an attempt at answering poster's question; when I open the thread I get a first post that's one line long with none of the preview detail. This thread was duplicated in HW help section --- is there something happening to duplicates when they're removed/merged?Quick edit, found the duplicate

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/hydrogen-bond-strength.784232/

and it's got the same "long preview" but short when actually opened behavior.

I just get the actual post content as preview. Maybe some cache issue?

And I don't see a thread in the homework section.

Just reloaded, and things are working --- we'll call it cache. The duplicate was in Physics rt. HW --- my bad.

Thanks.
