Failed to reply to thread17365

It's a bug that is regularly killing off threads. Suddenly, the threads stop accepting more comments. It's just the response counter and timesamp of last post that gets updated for the threads, but no new posts gets visible.

and in thread:
http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread17270.asp

Some of the dead threads:

http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread16875.asp
http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread16629.asp

But there are many more threads with this problem.

I have just had this problem in http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread17390.asp

The reply does not appear;
Pressing the browser's 'Back' button goes back to the message-entry form;
Pressing 'Post' then gives the following message:

"This message has already been posted to the forum."

But the post does not appear!

:-(

The number of replies shown in the thread list has increased to 6, but only 4 replies are actually visible in the thread!

The date & time of the latest reply shown in the thread list corresponds to when I tried to post.

The bad thing here is that I don't we have seen any single thread that have locked up and later come to life. They seem to be permanently dead.

From the forum visitor's perspective, there is no way to inform the OP of a locked thread, that he/she has to re-create a new thread to raise his/her question.

That's because it's a situation that shouldn't happen!!
