Title: Is the wall observer thread not synced?
Post by: Casdinyard on March 08, 2020, 06:21:26 AM
I've tried to reference  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230978.msg53985915#msg53985915)an image I've used from google and it came from the wall observer thread here on our forum but the page number it displays doesn't contain the image I've posted.
I am just curious because it isn't the first time I've clicked a link way back before about wall observer that displays an incorrect page.
If you have encountered such issues like this, please tell. Maybe there's a problem with URL linking in Wall Observer Topic.

Or maybe, I am just the only one that couldn't see the picture.

It falls out of sync on occasion, but gets re-indexed semi-regularly, from what I understand. What happens is posts are deleted on a daily basis, sometimes from years back, which throws off the indexing. If you don't see the post you are looking for on the page Google thinks its on, try going back a page or two, it might be there.

The answer is here, about a periodic global recount. Please see the full discussion at Wall Observer needs a recount (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198491.0)
There is a "periodic global recount" and guess this is what happened here with the WO thread.
Had some issues with my post count a while back and Theymos said to wait for the recount. So... auto-fixed tyvm :))

Your image link currently points to the right page, but that will keep moving. It's better to link to the post itself: copy the link under either the post title or the post number.
That link will occasionally lead to the wrong page, but should always end up correct again after a recount.

Apparently the forum has a hard time indexing 524301 posts on 26216 pages correctly. :P
