What is going on with flag count on ATS?

originally posted by: TheMadTitan
When I sort by new on my PC I'm taken to the 'maintenance' message page but when I do it on my phone it displays the new threads as it should. However, a lot of threads that are brand new have thousands of flags. An example which I will use is this thread www.abovetopsecret.com... When I sorted by new on my phone earlier today, this thread was second, with 1996 flags. There is no way that thread or any other can garner that many flags in such a short time, not to mention the comment to flag ratio is way off.

And it's not just that thread, multiple others have thousands of flags. Usually, threads on ATS that are doing well and are popular will be in the high double digits, rarely triple digits but never has there ever been a thread with thousands of flags, especially when a thread was just posted.

What is going on?

There's no privacy no more.

As good of a place as any to mention, it would be great to have a tick box for every image in the pic poster, then a member could mass delete old images. I would manually delete some, but it would take forever to reload the page for every single image deletion. I'm not even complaining, but it would reduce server space by a LOT, and rather quickly.

Yep, it's the recent maintenance interventions. To get your PC to load the new topic page just delete the browser cache and cookies from the last 24 hours.

The flag thing is obviously a glitch as Darko tries to sort out the coding.
