Forked from Re: Cereal - some serious thread fu

So it can't be fixed so that the thread doesn't show posts from 5-14 years ago, even though they're totally unrelated to the thread subject as a whole? How did those old posts get attached to that thread?
It seems like a pretty major glitch in the forum software.
The old stuff shows if you view the posts in threaded view. Only the new stuff shows up if you view in post view, which is my default, and I would never have noticed except that it was pointed out.
Hopefully, people can behave themselves and just be sensible about creating new threads, or at least forking old threads that wander off. We may have to ban bad actors, but I don't think we're there yet.
