I open to page one of the iMac Community, but when I try to go beyond
page one, there are no posts. All I get is a list of top contributors.
Other communities, High Sierra, MacMini, etc., are fine.
???????
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13), Thunderbolt display
Same here
My bet is that there is something terribly wrong in the iMac_intel database (all "content" has its own DB in JiveSoftware)
Use the page nav arrow on this page > iMac > https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/imac_intel/content
the URL for tha "next" page is https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/imac_intel/content?start=20
Big Red Alert Banner repeatedly for me
I will report this to Community Operations - it's the weekend, so I would not expect a fix anytime soon
My guess is that what we are seeing is the list of threads growing with NEW THREADS from some point in time when ALL older ones were lost somehow
The bucket was emptied and now is being filled up again slowly ??
Earliest one that I see in "/content" view is

Yes, that is what happens to me, too when attempting to view additional pages in iMac section.
Of course I'd attempted to reply elsewhere to a different ASC section; and found my effort most
difficult with short windows of opportunity (timed-out too quick, and loaded slower, also) there.
So perhaps this single issue should be reported. At near 3:40 AM in my vicinity, I'll not likely be
one to do so; since sleep is a higher priority after mucking about with other issues here tonight.
You may be able to find older posts by accessing thread content from within your user profile.
That's how I find most of the old ones; and have several windows open whilst doing so.
In any event...
Good luck in this matter! 🙂
Confirmed I can now load pages 1 through 3 within the Desktop>iMac sub-forum now for the first time this weekend however clicking on page 4 brings back the top contributors page again. Sounds like repairs are at least in progress now.

Somewhat scary thought with the fumbles from Apple lately.
QA and reliability taking a backseat to flashiness and hype?
Apple is in the process of re-authoring the SiteWare in-house
They "say" that they will be "phasing it in" without downtime to "switch engines"
This would be like changing motors on a race car while it was barreling around the track
- as an old coder, I do not see how that it is possible
JiveSoftware - at least the AppleJiveWare that has been radically modified over the years - has been very "glitchy" ever since I have been active here
As complicated as JiveWare is, I am not surprised when a gremlin gets into the system. I would give a summary of how it is designed, but it seems almost time for that to be moot

My coding has been limited to embedded hardware and the
occasional embedded webserver, but it would seem that
"switching over" from old to new could be as simple as changing
where a URL points to and opening a different "site". That way
you have a very fast way to get back to the old if the new is
majorly broke. Then again, maybe that would be to simple for
some software engineers.
Yeah but...!!! 😉
That's how one would normally do it.
Test the new dealio offline - then make a BIG switch
The problem is, that is NOT what "they" said that would happen!!
Now, the whole thing is a combination of traditional "URL directory" info architecture AND database architecture
The "forums" are URL all the way
The content & userdata are a hybrid = message #s & username (which really translates to a user number for DB purposes in the background)
Apple's re-authoring of a "mature & robust" collaboration software is a big deal - not that Apple does not have the talent in the OS & software groups
"gradually" migrating just blows my mind
Confirmed - no posts on page 2, plus a page numbers bug. This is on Firefox as well as Safari 9.1.3
I get posts on page 2 - none on pages after that
AppleJiveTeam LOVES screenshots
I've drawn the Hosts' attention to this thread.
Seems it is now fixed (11:30 EST). Glad to see I wasn't alone.
I take that back. Only get page 1 and 2 and nothing beyond.
I could not even get to the iMac community with Firefox most of yesterday; at some point, it finally worked late at night. All other communities worked as expected.
The communities were down for maintenance a couple days
ago. Looks like the fixed it real good :-).
iMac Community Safari Bug?
