[answered]'New Posts' feature dumping threads

me too!

I have noticed that as well.

So, prolly not something I can tweak here, eh?

i wonder if them hamsters are all tuckered out?

Perhaps it's time for a revolution?

I wonder if this is related to the problem a couple of us are having with getting logged off involuntarily. cjhsa started a thread on that. Must link must link can i link?

ok

that one here http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32135&highlight=

and then this one there <trot trot trot>

Oh, I thought it was something with my new computer, since that's about when it started.

You know about this, right?

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Soz, that's nice!

Is there a button for that?

errrrr, that's what I've fallen back on, but to be honest I prefer the New Posts approach as it permits me to vet who I'm reading. As there are some members I do NOT want to even waste screen time on, I use New Posts to help me avoid them. All Posts doesn't give me that option.

I think it's known as At a Glance - in the same grouping as new posts.

Have you ever noticed that there are some people that you only run across in certain forums?

It seems they won't venture out into the common grounds but rather prefer their own little play places.

Why is that?

Why won't they come out and play?

Cuz they don't wanna?

(Yep, "at a glance".)

Yeah, not my preference either, but it's something.

Some people don't know how to play?

Some people are bad sports, and if they can't "win", they don't want to play?

Some people are best kept in separate fora.

Thanks Ladies, I found it (doh!).

Re: 'New Posts' feature dumping threads
The search saves a search ID in the db that lasts a few minutes. I usually open each page right away so as not to lose it.

To avoid getting more technical than I have time for, the only ways to make this work differently are currently much more database intensive, and as people are complaining about site slowness and disconnects the issue of server load is obviously a concern to be factored in.

The At a Glance code will eventually be overhauled to give as much information as the new posts search, but that might be a bit off as there are several projects that take precedence (partnership with a new site, getting and deploying new servers, moving the site to a new datacenter, a conding review....).

Anywho, this is just the way the standard phpbb software works, and I haven't had time to code a change as it is both extensive and involving critical core code.

I said I'd make a note of when the site is slow, have been experiencing that now. Not too bad. The main time I noticed it is when I edited a post about 10 minutes ago -- it took a very long time to "take". (Clicked "submit", it sat on the screen without doing anything for about 90 seconds. Which, ya know, 90 seconds? We're so spoiled.)
