Wow, that's crazy Lucas!
Come to think of it, something similar happens to me when I have a flight and wake up relatively close to the alarm.
Not nearly as precise, but still something that confirms that "hidden power".

Guys, spare yourself some time and avoid bbPress.
Everyone recommends it but it sucks.
I wasted days on that old piece of junk and it still looked like cr@p.There is no affiliate link here because it's free and I highly recommend it.
It looks beautiful and works wonders right off the bat while bbPress looks terrible and you'll waste weeks (and hours of developers' money on Fiverr and Freelancer)
Quick comment to say I lost a big post by composing it on a forum window that was opened yesterday, but left empty. When I pressed 'post' it said 'you cannot do that.' And the text was not saved, hitting the back button went to a page that didn't have the text.
These are good practices in general:
- Never compose anything whatsoever on a text field on a website; you never know what shenanigans the software authors had in mind when writing the code that governs it. I think I understand the reasoning (security; cookies with a date so that a potential attacker cannot bombard you with fake content, taking the site down).
- When you know the site runs Wordpress, particularly if extended with lots of plugins to give it functionality beyond a blog (a forum in this case): run for the hills. Wordpress is terrible, terrible software. A pity that it became an institution, enabling anyone nontechnical to build a site that didn't suck too much, but would grow into an unmanageable mess as soon as it grows.
Lucio, I know you are heavily invested in Wordpress and changing would not be easy. My fault for not following rule #1. Don't take this as an afront, most of the web runs on Wordpress, and there's lots of advantages to it. It just that the architecture, the philosophy... is from the 90s and utterly terrible. It's good enough for most purposes. Anyone reading this in today: if you start a site nowadays, don't use Wordpress!
