For the past couple of weeks I've noticed my posts not showing up for a while after I post them. Also threads will show 'last post by so and so' and I'll click the thread and there is no post there.
What's going on?

This is an effect of the caching system I have in place, which allows the site to load much faster than it otherwise would. Unfortunately it doesn't work exactly the way I'd like it to, and I haven't really had the time to dig into it further. I could disable the caching entirely, and the site would be slightly slower, but the posts would always show up and the last post details would always be correct. Maybe I'll just do that and see what people think.
Did some major updates tonight that were long overdue. Not sure if it will speed the site up much, but threads/posts not being updated right away, and other caching related issues should hopefully be resolved.
Also, mentioning someone works much better now, as the autocomplete feature actually works: @Eamonn
Yeah, I stopped posting for this reason.
I worked pretty hard to get a caching system in place that allowed the site to load extremely fast, but there are tradeoffs, and one of those was that sometimes posts/threads didn't appear updated immediately (even though I tried to ensure that they were). Oh well, after the updates I made tonight, I think the site load time is satisfactory, and it wont have those issues anymore.
