Has anyone else experienced this?
It has happened to me several times over the past couple of years.
You spot a question with no replies, answer it and to your surprise there are several earlier replies staring you in the face and I'm not talking about having been posted a few minutes earlier . . . these can be hours earlier!
I suspect that this issue does not occur to those posting from the USA.
I noticed ,Ian, that the post you made that prompted you to write this," Timeline across 2 displays", was at 12.55 am California time.
I haven't seen a notice from Apple in a long time on these forum pages saying that access will be down for a few hours over night, California time, in order for "maintenance " to be carried out.
I suspect that "maintenance" is still carried out but rather than deny access to these forums, Apple put it on pause which may mean that you do not see what is being added for an hour or 2. This will probably be between midnight and say 2 am California time , or there abouts.
This period of time equates to something like after 8 or 9 in the morning in Europe and after ,say , 6 in the evening in Australia.
So , if an Apple site is on pause/ maintenance from about midnight ,California time, for a couple of hours, then not many people in the USA will be affected or notice whilst those in Europe will notice it in their morning hours and in Australia in their evening hours.
Or am I just crazy?

Just noticed something else equally weird.
There is a thread on the first page of the iMovie forum which has my final reply being 18 hours ago.
I couldn't remember answering it yesterday so I opened up the thread and saw the date of my reply was March 22nd!!!!!!!
How does nearly 3 weeks become 18 hours?
Yep. Seen that here.
I clear the Safari caches and website stuff once or twice a week to keep clutter under control.
Not seen the problem for quit a while since I’ve started regular house cleaning. 🧹

The reason I posted this was because it had happened yet again just minutes earlier.
Apart from being a waste of time it is somewhat embarrassing as it suggests incorrectly that one hasn't read the original post.
You may require an experienced Sys Admin to sort this one out as pictured. 😁

Yes, I’ve had that happen to me too. Not often, but it’s happened a few times. No particular cause that I can think of.
It could be caused by leaving the window open for several hours before clicking on a post but that has not happened in most of my cases where I have opened Safari and navigated to the Apple website.
This has happened to me as well.
It may not be the correct answer but it's darned convincing.
You make it sound so plausible I would trust you with my bank details for any get-rich scheme you suggested. 😇
I have gone one step better . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKVnsqdgWkg
