You missed one. See my post 
They appear to have a bank of front-end servers, and some kind of synchronisation between databases on the servers.
Unfortunately, it's not synchronised as often as expected. So, you can see a thread's got, say, 10 messages in it, but you click on it and it has 5. Then 3. Then 10.
It's not how I would've designed it, but I have no idea how much load these servers are under (but I would suspect it's too much).
When I was in Seattle, it was nice and responsive

I've given it a kick which should fix things for now.
We are aware of the problem and are working flat out to fix it, we are just finishing off a few optimisations to the site which should go live later on this week. They should significantly reduce the load on the databases and cure the problem properly.
In the mean time, I apologise for any inconvenience that is being caused and hope you will bear with us while we sort this out

That sounds quite good. The other day, I was trying to work out what kind of problems could be happening, and how the systems all hung together based on the observations.We are aware of the problem and are working flat out to fix it, we are just finishing off a few optimisations to the site which should go live later on this week. They should significantly reduce the load on the databases and cure the problem properly.
