I've tried threadsucking the last 600 posts or so in Natter four times now, and I keep getting the header without any actual posts. I was able to threadsuck a smaller amount--is this likely my browser?
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

I'm aware of the problem, but I can't figure out what's causing it, since I can't reproduce it myself.

What is even happening?
If it helps (probably won't) I just successfully threadsucked Natter 31 from post #4700 on to the end, but then got the same results as Kristin, when I tried to do it from post #3700 on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did it ever work for you, Cindy? I remember Tom tweaking a thing, and relief ensuing. Was it yours?

I can suck from 4600, but not 4500.

ita, it always used to work for me. Then I started having trouble if I wanted to suck too much of the thread. I don't know if I ever reported that, but I think DX had the same issue, and reported it.
Then I started having trouble, and Tom did something that fixed it. Then I started having trouble again.
Today I could thread suck a little from Natter ~600 posts. When I tried ~1600, it wouldn't work. And I just sucked BBaBB from post number 9000 to the end, and it worked. I couldn't suck from 8000, though.
Just tried again, and can suck from 8500 in BBaBB.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Just to throw another data point in, I had no problem just now sucking the entireties of either Natter 31 or Bitches 19.

Our wings are not tired.
That Cindy, she doesn't suck.
FWIW, I just sucked all of Natter with no issue. Firefox/XP Pro
