What about that annoying posting bug that's been there for ages?
Looks like some kind of race condition. Every now and then, you submit a post and you get a bug page. You post does appear in the thread, but it doesn't appear in your My Posts list, and if I'm not mistaken it doesn't kick the thread either.

Might be related to another longstanding race condition bug -- the eventual posts without number.

1. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this can be fixed.
But I am going to ask Elad to comment to get the opinion of the tech guy.

2. Some occasional bugs like that are inevitable.
However I think one of our forum tables has gotten too large and we may need to retire it, as it's causing more of these errors than normal.

3. Maybe you could run a script to reconstruct orphaned posts' links at low-load times? -nt
