I just opened my copy of the 8/19 Photography Port on my Galaxy S3 phone. Being that I was just waking up and my eyes not focusing right I then opened it on on of my tablets. I went to continue reading a thread about quality of Yongnuo flashes and it was not there. I then compared the Main topics list and the postings were very different with many more topics on the phone than on the tablet. The same went for general chit chat. Upcoming topics were the same. Does anybody have an idea why this happened?

I've noticed the same thing. When I look at the digest on my iPad, then open the same thing on my desktop, you almost wonder if it is the same thing. Several more topics on my desktop than on my iPad. Can't figure out why....

you have just entered the Twilight Zone! :D

Just guessing, but I believe formatting must be changed for appearing on different kinds of devices - computer, phone, tablet. I think that would be a starting point for investigation.

Someone must select the topics that appear in the summary, and maybe two different people work on two different formats of delivery.

I await some good answers.

I believe the digest is generated as we call it up by clicking on the link.
I opened the link from the e-mail I received, read a couple of the posts, then closed the browser. About ten minutes later, I opened the browser again by clicking on the SAME link in my e-mail and the list of topics was completely different.
Same e-mail, same link, same device, same browser, different listings. Most reasonable answer: it is generated as you call it up.

I find that Upcoming Topics changes, but the Main stays the same.

I don't know. This is the first time that anything like this happened. Even when I bring it up a second and third and fourth time no changes to the initial post. It would be nice if someone in administration responded to this rather than all of us members. After all it is a technical issue from the source and not a photography related issue.
