They dont seem to last on the list very long? sometimes no list at all, cant be that slow here?

huh

For example, just clicked on new posts and theres two topics being discussed, this one and"look closely at names"
Is it just me?

If you come to the site, and are active for some time, and click new posts, some will start disapearing. Way the board is setup. It counts X time since youve last visited...
