Why do the forums move at different times of the day? Is somebody doing this or is it doing it automaticly?

I'm unsure of what you're referring to. We don't move the forums anywhere. Do you have a specific example?

When you say move. Do you mean the number of posts?

No No, I mean the actual sections are moving to different... well let me just give an example.

The following example didn't necisarilly happen just like this but this is just an example.

HYPOTHETICAL:

This thread is in MAC-FORUMS.COM* > COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTER > SUGGESTIONS / COMMENTS > Why? > ::: at 6:00 PM

At 9:00 it is now changed to MAC-FORUMS.COM* > GENERAL HARDWARE > SUGGESTIONS / COMMENTS > Why? >



Again, maybe I'm crazy :dive:

There are times when posts are moved because they were intially posted in the wrong forums. That's probably what you're seeing. We try to keep things organized and easy to find that way :)

No its not the thread, its the entire forum being moved to a different section. Don't worry, I'll take screenshots next time it happens.

If it's more than the thread, I'm not sure why it would be happening. There's certainly nothing that we're doing here. It must be an issue with your browser. Have you tried clearing your cache?

Speaking of a forum anomoly; When I open most forums the content fits within the Safari window. However, when I open the "OS X operating system" forum the content is too wide for the window and I must scroll over to see the info columns on the right. As far as I've seen that is the only forum that does that. (This is on a 17" eMac screen set at 1024x768.)

It happens to me too this is because there are 40-something pages and it is the forum with the most threads.
