29 posts showing in thread when logged out and only 13 posts when logged in

Ok I searched and could not find anything, and this is not related to viewing posts per page settings.

I just tested this on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3742780&page=2)
When I am logged out there are 3 pages with 10 posts per page with the last page having 9 posts for a total of 29 posts.

When I am logged in there are 2 pages with the first page having 10 post and the 2nd page having 3 posts.

I have found this to happen a lot to me on numerous threads when I post a response... only to find out there are a half a dozed additional posts responding before me, making my response either invalid or not in context.

This is a little weird, can anyone help with this please. I can post screen shots if needed.

Thanks :)

I just wonder whether this is happening because it is set to open at the last unread post in the thread. I.E. not opening at the end of the thread but at the point you last looked at the thread. This does not apply when you are not logged in.

Sometimes I find this myself, you assume that the last post on the page must be the last post in the thread, without realising of course that since you last visited, a new page(s) has been added. So if you reply to a post on that page it will not take account of the page(s) of posts yo have not looked at yet.

(This may not be the situation with you - merely a suggestion.

It's a possible scenario and, of course, I appreciate any suggestions... but the physical post count in the thread is different for logged-in/not logged-in because I went back to count each and every post to make sure I wasn't going crazy :p

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but since I'm a newb, I needed 8 posts before I could post links to external websites.

I spent some time posting in some different forums to get up to the required 8, then I posted my detailed post with some links.

Then I came back a few hours later only to find that I had been reset back to only 3 posts...

Now I'm back to 5 after I post this.

I'm not really concerned about my post count, but I'm pretty sure some of my posts have disappeared, and I usually take a bit of time making sure they are well thought out and are easy to read. Kinda sucks when that time is wasted...
