I've noticed a different problem with Forum Spy. If I have it open for a while at a time, I'll see a bunch of duplicate posts in a row. It only happens to about 3 or 4 posts, but it's weird.

Are you sure people aren't just replying to that post - bumping it up to the top again? This seems to happen when the sight has low activity and only one or two threads are active.
 
Do either of you have any Safari add-ons installed? I've never noticed either issue and have Forum Spy open quite a bit...

I've really only been using Forum Spy for 2 days now and I noticed this yesterday. I'm was using Google Chrome on my crappy work PC.

I'm positive they are not replies. I even check the reply count (which is still the same), and I've even clicked on the thread (because I was watching it) and it still has the same content.

I'll try and take a screen shot next time it happens.
 
ForumSpy is always open in a tab for me, a great way to give fast feedback if someone needs help.
 
I just got another glitch. I was watching Forum Spy and then all of a sudden it started spitting out stuff from 30 minutes earlier. You can see what I'm talking about in the picture below.

Edit: I just noticed that the top record is from an hour earlier.

Here is a screen shot of the problem I was talking about in the post below. Does this happen to anyone else?
