Does the dutch forum have some kind of gravity?

Hi folks,
could it be, that the dutch forum has some kind of virtual gravity? In the last days, a lot of times I clicked on the security & performance or on this forum, I ended up with the dutch. Allthough I like those people (made my vacations there several times ;) ), I somehow fear they will overtake the whole forum.  :o And I read a thread from one guy that had similar problems. I just wanted to look up the nick, but now even after a few reloads and clicks on the links in the forum, I allways land in the installation forum of the dutch. THEY ARE SPREADING!! BEWARE!!

P.S.: I hope nobody takes this to serious....

Hackwar,

Yes! The Dutch are most definitely up to something. Their forum keeps swallowing threads and moving things around.

I recently posted a new thread here in 'Site Feedback' but it ended up in The Netherlands (sort of). After refreshing the page a few times it showed up where it belonged in the 'Feedback' section.

And before you ask, no I have not been drinking. :)

Yeah, It happened to me too, I even took screenshots to prove my point,

But alas no responce,

Joomla Sites Feedback took me to the Installatie (Installation) forum,

OMG The dutch are taking over Joomla! :'(



P.S. No harm meant  :D

There is a reason for this, but not much we can do about it.. the php cache we have running on this server - APC seems to cause this issue, that being said.. a few refreshes seems to sort it out...

We get a HUGE amount of traffic to this server, and without the php cache, we would have no hope in running things like the forum on the server.

Hopefully, a APC upgrade/fix in the future may solve the issue.
