Are the forums currently undergoing some sort of maintenance or migration?

I noticed from different PCs, with different browsers, and even using incognito mode, that when I reply to a post, edit, or re-visit the thread, it's a mish-mash of different results:

• Sometimes my post is not visible, even when I view from a different computer. It's like there's a chance it will be delayed.
• Sometimes (actually many times) my edits appear to have been applied, but then when I re-visit the post, the edits have been reverted.
• Yet, from the point above, if I try to re-do my edits, they sometimes will work immediately, and other times it's a shot in the dark or a matter of waiting to see if it corrects itself.

I'm more curious if others have noticed similar oddities about the forums recently. I don't recall it ever being like this. I think I only noticed it recently, maybe since last week?

Yes, I have had the same experience for about a week or so.

What I first noticed is that read posts did not "unbold" right away Then, while "investigating" that, I found the "delayed arrivals" of my posts and/or edits.

Not exactly recently because I noticed this behavior since few month or so but I'm using the "New posts" to check out the latest posts since last time and I noticed that sometime I get an alert for new messages but they don't show up in the "new posts" list.
And sometimes I also notice posts that I haven't seen after the "Threads below have not been updated since your last visit." line.

It is not bothering me much but when I saw this post, I thought I'll add it to the list.

According to iX, the forums switched to KeyCDN the week of 6/21, and the caching settings haven't been stabilized yet.

The work-around for now is to refresh (F5) early and often.

Just wanted to report in here that this issue still persists. Is there any official update? Are there hurdles that have yet to be jumped?

Seeing this quite a bit as well. Apparently I'm living in the future, but not very far.

Maybe the forum software has such advanced artificial intelligence that it knows what you're going to post before you post it?

This is proof that free will is an illusion!
