As Carlos indicated, this forum is not the place to ask technical
questions. You want the beta/prerelease forum.

When you post your question there, please use a descriptive subject line
(rather than your user ID) that gives a brief description of the issue,
and then provide as much detail as you can in the message about your
hardware and how you can reproduce the issue.

Thanks,

Jim

This fragment makes no sense, as it stands. However, just for my general interest, is it possible that it was posted to a thread in (the inappropriate, as noted) ‘Comments and Suggestions’ sub-forum, and which thread was in the process of being moved somewhere more appropriate, and this fragment ended up in ‘C & S’ as an orphan?

(Sorry that this doesn’t help; I’m just curious, that’s all.)

Nope, vBulletin uses a series of database pointers to keep the messages
together. The only fragmentation that can happen is on the NNTP side,
where that database isn’t used (and really can’t be, because posts are
typically cached on the client side).

There is something very wrong with this thread. On NNTP I see 6 posts. On
the web I see only two. Mine and yours are missing.

On the web I see that the thread has been moved to the beta forum, but I
see no post stating the move, and no notice at all of that in the NNTP side.

Someone goofed while performing the move.

The thread is divided in two:

2 posts

> http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/other-forums/forums-feedback/forums-comments-suggestions/466916-re-newbiemilty.html

3 posts

And not all the posts in the nntp side are there.

Looking at the logs, I see it did get moved, and a reply was posted in
the new location (in the beta forum).

My mistake on mis-identifying that.

We all got mistaken, because the custom is first to make one post
requesting nntp users to refrain for a while, do the move, then make a
second post saying that it is open for posts again in the new place. I
recognize it is complicated, but necessary.

These two post are missing, and we have two split threads.
