Phantom ”related questions” that appear then vanish like a ghost or specter, have you seen them?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) October 29th, 2016

Every so often where the present ”Jelly” is, a leader board that says ”New Born” appears, it has related questions to Fluther, but then if I refresh the page or click on a question, I cannot go back to that board because it vanishes as if into thin air. When it first happened I thought it was a glitch never to happen again. It has happened about five to six times now. Have you witnessed the phenomenon? Is there some secret key strokes that cause it to appear? If it is ”in Fluther” somewhere truly why is it so hard to find when I want to find it?

I saw that happening for the first time today. It seems to be totally random. I’ve seen Related on Jelly, Related (which brings up fluther questions), and New Born all come up in that slot on the right. The next time I see the related that connects to fluther , I’m going to open several tabs and answer those old questions!

Almost like dirty joke, putting a hunk of ham in front of s hungry dog, then snatching it away by the cord attached to it so the dog never gets to taste it only smell it.

My guess would be that Andrew made a change so that you sometimes get related questions from Fluther and other times get related questions from Jelly. Since so many people were complaining that they wanted Fluther related questions back.

“Related Questions” and “Newborn” are two different things. I have also seen each pop up randomly and rarely and I can’t determine if there is a pattern to it. Sort of frustrating as most of the time it is the Related on Jelly nonsense that is popping up.

@Mariah They are appearing so randomly that it seems more of a glitch than a plan.

Related (the fluther version) is up next to this question right now for me.

Found same great old threads to read as a result – and one to Davy Jones.

Is it a glitch Andrew or Ben knows of?
