Tried it in two threads as I wasn't receiving any ToT from people claiming to have ToT me on the forum. When I refresh the page, the person that was previously above me (and who I had claimed and ToT) had changed to someone else. So this is likely why I am not getting anything. Is anyone else experiencing this?
What happens to me is that the forums are insanely quick. They tend to TOT before posting, so they TOT the wrong person that might not even be above them.
well that's sucky, but for me I am claiming them first and then ToTing the person displaying above me. If I refresh a completely new username is above me =/ I think it happened last year too.
I have had this problem since they redid the forums. Refresh and it is something different. I never know who to actually post to. So whoever it loads on that is the one I do. I always hope it is the correct one.

This just happened to me on my first try, so I'm done with "ToT the user above" threads.
- Posted to claim someone
- is directly above my post, so I ToT her.
- Refresh the page.
- Suddenly 's post is between mine and Belladora's? So now I've ToT'ed the wrong person.
- ToT Lacrimosa so I'm not a total jerk. Good. Now everything's fair.
- Refresh the page.
- Now the posts have shuffled again, so the order is Belladora, , me, Lacrimosa.
What the what.
[edit]
Our posts shuffle every time I refresh, so this is impossible to keep straight.
I have had 1 person total actually ToT me because of this bug. Not getting anything. Don't want to miss out on the new items -.-
Dude no wonder I've been getting hardly any ToT from anyone else. Thanks for posting this, I had no idea that was happening.
Well, this explains why I have ToT on the thread multiple times and not yet gotten one single ToT back. Guess I'm not going to waste my time with the event threads.
Ugh, this is still happening? So that's why when I get the ToT fast pass I am lucky to get one fifth ToTer even though I end up posting over ten times before it ends.
I'm pretty sure by now I should have had more than the handful of fifth ToTers with how much I'm posting on the thread.
Either that or I keep getting stuck with someone who won't ToT me.

I have gotten only 3 gifts per every five people, and I have posted many times. Not right. I'm sure I've been skipped a lot. Very frustrating. I post first, then whoever is above me I tot them. It just moves way too fast.
this is really, really unfortunate, but i'm afraid it's not something that we're going to be able to fix.
ideally, posts in a topic would be ordered by their postid. the problem with that, is when everything from the old forums was imported into the new forums, it was done very haphazardly and not in any real order. because of that, we order posts by the time they were created, because ordering topics by postid means those old topics (including a lot of threads that are still active/in use) get their posts displayed completely out of order.
normally, this works just fine, and no one will ever notice any weirdness. but in event threads like these, they move so quickly that there are multiple posts that have the same timestamp. and our database engine is a little bit weird that it doesn't automatically order tables in any way (afaik most of them order tables automatically by their primary keys), so the results get spit out in a semi-random order. so while they are ordered by their timestamp, posts with the same timestamp are not always going to be returned from a database query in the same order. they'll get mixed up.
i really wish that there were something i could do about this. but given all of the different factors that contribute to it, there's just not. :(
