Today's Most Popular - An anomaly?

Returning to OLO after several days interruption to my Telstra landline service for reasons as yet undisclosed, I see this seeming anomaly with respect to the popularity of Kellie Tranter's article persists.

As can be seen, other articles have changed relative positions within the lists during this interval.

Indeed qanda is correct that if you click the 'The National Forum' button (which is this URL: http://portal.nationalforum.com.au/ ) you get that message. (Here is a screenshot of it: http://www.twitpic.com/1c0iqh ) However, that is not the button to click. One needs to click the 'On Line Opinion' button to be delivered to the page on which one can scroll to the popularity lists.

I use the online application Twitpic to post screenshots on Twitter. One has to have signed up for a Twitter account to be able to use this free application. As GrahamY has a Twitter account, and lists me, 'ForrestGumpp', as someone he 'follows' on Twitter, this provides a means of communication if OLO is suffering problems with its server or local internet connection. A screenshot provides proof and full information to OLO staff in determining the precise nature of any problem that users may be experiencing, and a link to the twitpic of the screenshot will come up in GrahamY's Twitter display together with my (Twitter) userID and any message I may have added. (Screenshots actually live on your own hard drive, filed wherever your operating system files such stuff. Twitpic lets you browse and select the .png image file that is your screenshot, and upload it.)

There is more about Twitter in this old OLO topic: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2646&page=0

For those who use a Micro$oft operating system, which I don't, I think you take a screenshot by pressing the 'print screen' button on your keyboard. Then something happens, but I'm not sure what.
