Posts lost in a thread I started

I started a thread in OMNI on the subject of the metric system: http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...ML/008776.html

It used to have more posts in it than it does now. The post count claims it has 37 posts in 2 pages, but there is presently nothing on the second page, and far fewer than 37 posts on the first page. Can the thread be rebuilt?

I rebuilt the Travel forum, including that thread. Does it look like things are in order? As for any missing posts, I don't know what could have removed them without corrupting the whole thread; usually when missing posts crop up, there's also a thread corruption (the date replaces the thread title, etc). It doesn't seem to be the case for this one, though.

Yeah, I see what you mean... the lost threads could have disappeared during a thread rebuild but I would expect some more obvious corruption to appear in it.

I wonder if this type of problem has anything to do with the system clock being off, i.e. FlyerTalk time being some 9 (?) minutes behind, causing problems when two people simultaneously post replies to a thread, etc.

Only speculating though.

I doubt it... when a file (thread) is accessed, it's "locked" while changes are made; it's not dependent upon time. When files do become corrupt, it's because of a lot of traffic, or a CPU slowdown, unrelated to time.
