    With alot of new Bees on the boards and the post a thon in full swing, I thought I would take a moment to explain WeddingBees "Ghost Pages".

    Ghost pages are when you know there has been a new post but you cant see it because it is posted on a "missing" next page.  We see this alot on fast moving threats or the chat threads.

    In order to see the new post you will manually have to change the page number in the address bar

    example:

    change this

    http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chat-thread-3/page/11?replies=404#post-2549647

    to this

    http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chat-thread-3/page/12

     

    We have been running into the problem that there may be more than one missing pages so just keep changing the last number until you catch up.

    Hope this helps.

    Yay, it's stickied! This was such a pain to figure out on your own, thanks for the PSA, TKS :-)

    I'd always feel bad on big threads, because to explain to someone how to get to a ghost page, they'd have to see the post...which was hidden on the ghost page! PMs work, but I ALWAYS forgot to use them instead.

    I can never find the local NYC tri-state pages- when I search within the "local" option no pages come up. Not sure if this is the same thing but I find the only way for me to find the actual local pages is to do a search. This could account for the low traffic on those pages- maybe other people can't find them either!

    @ddavila2001: If you click on local, then under that you will have options, click on mid atlantic, then new york city option box will pop up. I was able to get to the NYC boards but If you still can't get to it, in the upper right hand corner of the screen there is a link to "support".  If you write them a post and tell them you can't get to it they can see if there is a technical problem.

    Does it ever fix itself? I barely bumped a post onto page 2 last night, and it still isnt showing up without manually entering the page. Not exactly a fast paced thread.

    @Roe:  it will after around 10ish posts on the missing page.  Sorry there is not more of a cut and dry answer, it just varies per thread and is never really constant.

    Hmm this fix isn't working for me today...the address already looks like what I am supposed to change it to, though I can tell it's missing posts based on the name and time shown in the activity. Any tips?

    Here is the thread http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/show-your-dress-pick-a-character/page/3

    Now it all makes sense!  I was wondering!  Thanks!

    @msshawna51:  Basically, each "page" of comments has 35-40ish comments, then a new page starts... Sometimes, you can see that there have been 60 comments made, but for some reason, you can't click to see page 2...

    So this thread tells you how to do that. :)
