Recent Posts not working?

Only seems to be showing 2 pages?

[TravelSite]

I clicked on recent posts this morning and - to my horror - its only showing me the past hour worth of posts.

Now, as I generally sleep for at least 4 hours a night :) this means that I can't easily see all the useful posts that's happened. While it would take me a couple of minutes to scan through the recent posts list - it would take me AGES to have to look into all the threads I'm interested in. Has this changed?

[SlowMove]

It's hard not to notice. That's the best way to navigate the site.

[TravelSite]

Any reasons why this would be done? To speed up the server perhaps?

I am getting only "Displaying Topics 1 - 25 (165 total)" which wouldn't be a problem if I could move to the next page like I can at the bottom of the individual forums.

There is nothing at the bottom that says "Displaying Page 1 of x" It just cuts off after message 25 - there is no close html tag - which makes me think it is an error [knowing Brett and his desire for good code :) I think he would have put a close html tag if he meant to do this]

Weird. This has been going on for at least two and a half hours now.

Probably a temporary glitch, maybe related to a database or code change? WebmasterWorld is unusually slow for me tonight.

Last time this happened we ended up with a date change. And we chased the active posts around for 3-4 days. Not sure we'll end up with a date change but this happens sporadically.

Persistent red balls bug. ;)

Until this gets fixed, this link will display the first 100:

[webmasterworld.com...]

100 results is better than 25 results :)

[Sinner_G]

The link is nice, but I mostly use the bullets to know which threads have been updated in the up to 5 minutes between 2 clicks on the link or 2 automatic reloads of the page. I'm completely lost now :(.

[peewhy]

I've just replied to a post and it has not shown in either my threads or recent post.

[TravelSite]

..Its not resetting itself at 8am each morning is it (American new day) - please tell me it isn't so!

[heini]

I see that as an exercise - use it to explore the board... :
[webmasterworld.com...]

Tip: You can reset the red balls from the top of the forums list... :)

Personally speaking, I brush up heavily on one section at a time (e.g. Adwords) - reading through it all. Once done though, having the recent posts allows you to quickly scan for any important updates/developments, without having to continually to go into each forum (i.e. it saves a lot of time).

Its especially useful when you wake up - as you can quickly see what the other half of the world has been up to!

- Looks like its only displaying the last 27 posts

[digitalghost]

Looks like Brett woke up and hit the "fixit" button. ;)

[Brett_Tabke]

Yep - doing a bit of work on the system this week folks. You'll notice some other *temporary* changes too.

Hmmm... like recent posts in others' profiles?

Personally, I hope they come back - maybe with the "removed" threads that someone has posted to edited out.

[HitProf]

And with the supporters forum posts in I hope :)

[celerityfm]

Keep up the good work, but please keep the recent posts in the profiles feature! :)

[celerityfm]

Any news on when the "my recent posts" in the profile will come back?

(EDIT) Ask and ye shall recieve! No sooner did I post this page, then the recent post thing came back!(/EDIT)

Now.

Will being able to view other people's post histories in their profile be restored too?

Villagers demand GoogleGuy's post history in his profile! :)

[celerityfm]

Bumpage for great justice-

No seriously, are we ever going to be able to see post histories of other users again?

[MrSpeed]

bump-
I really miss this feature too. And not to just check what googleguy has posted.

Sometimes when a userposts a question I would track through recent posts to get an idea what this person was trying to accomplish to get a little mor insight to the question.

Now I have to sticky the person to get more details.

[celerityfm]

^^IAWTP.

I'm really missing it.. its a part of my daily routine (checking GG's posts)-- if I don't get to do it every day I'll start freaking out like rainman, and we wouldn't want that would we? :)

[HitProf]

They're back!

Ow.. oeps! - only for self :(

[celerityfm]

Bumpination continues on this one.

I sent a note to Marcia but didn't hear back from her regarding this issue... anyone else care to comment on whether it will be back or not?

You'll notice some other *temporary* changes too

- I want them to be *temporary* too Brett but these look permanent :(

[engine]

>whether it will be back or not?

Not at present, sorry.

[celerityfm]

Not at present, sorry.

*bows* thank you very much! Now I can let this go for the time being :) :).

*removes thread from bookmarks*

[lazerzubb]

I WANT RECENT POST IN THE USER PROFILE BACK!

[celerityfm]

I'm still crossing my fingers on this one too heh...

[Nick_W]

hehehe, so do I.

I suspect there's a bit more to it than just 'trimming fat' though ;)

Sorry Brett but I really miss this function, at the moment it's like going to pubcon with a blindfold on.
