The trigger finger does up the post view.
When I click on a link and repeatedly click [well tap since I'm using a laptop] it ups the post count by about 10-15. I just did it twice on Goose's post.
I have no idea if this is what is happening with GHM though.
Re: So, in my expert opinion
I just did it to ghm's conspiracy theory post. It was at 305 and jumped to 331 when I clicked it 5 times.
You might be right. Be patient people! It will open.
Maybe, but that's still a lot of people even if they're over clicking. And only in GHM pages? That still seems really odd.
