Earlier today, I was looking for some posts in a recent thread on the Buying board to cite as reference in a new thread. Rather than sift through my own replies, I went to the "title page" that lists all the thread titles for that board. I sort my boards by the title start date, so I figured the thread I was looking for would be on page one, or possibly page two.
When I reached the list for page four, which was starting to display threads from the end of May, I stopped searching the board titles and found the relevant thread through other means. The thread I was interested in had been posted on June 3 but was missing from title page of the board. In point of fact, the list skips from June 1 to June 4, with no threads listed for June 2 or June 3--and I'm guessing there were some threads posted on those days, including the one I was looking for.
Could someone check to see if it shows up in their list of threads (or any threads from June 2 or June 3, for that matter)? TIA.
Thread I was looking for:
Snippet of list of threads from title page for the relevant time period:
That's very strange. It's showing up fine for me (different time zone). Are you sure you didn't have some filter on that would exclude some posts?

I'm certainly not aware of intentionally excluding any threads/titles. Would there even be a way to do that? Do you know of any filters or options I may have accidentally engaged that would filter out certain threads? Or even something I intentionally activated, not realizing the unintended consequences?
This is the first time in my four+ years of participation that I've come across missing thread titles, but that doesn't mean this is a new phenomenon. It's possible I just haven't noticed it in the past or haven't been looking for a specific title that is missing.
Weird. Just double-checked that list, and I now have that thread back--as well as the others in the date range--but a number of threads on that page are listing the dates in the "European" style of DD/MM/YY. I remember that was a problem awhile back, but I haven't seen it for some time. It could explain why it wasn't showing up there for awhile--perhaps it wasn't indexing correctly. We'll see what the list looks like a few hours from now . . .
Thanks @pburn I'll look into the European style dates that are showing on the US Community. I believe we have an old ticket open that I might need to bump back up.
