I'm Suspicious (New software related)

[Jeff A]

Ever time I log on, I hit the "New Posts" button as I have always done. Since the change, there are always 5 pages for me to read. I'm used to seeing more like 10 pages, but cert ai9nly not the same number each time. Any thoughts?

I haven't had that issue.

Do you Mark Forums Read before you log off?

 

[JohnKielly]

I just remembered something. If you have bookmarked New Posts as your entry to the site, I found it doesn't work with this software. It's the same on BR Central. New Posts indexes to a specific file/entry number when you invoke it & than number ticks up one very time there's s new occurrence.

Try coming in at the forum level & clicking on New Posts.

That is what I do.

You can use this link for the new posts.

That works, Scott, but once I invoke it, the location defaults back to a specific index, so I can't bookmark it.

I am having the same issue. There are always 5 pages for me to read with 100 new posts. Nothing ever greater?

 

[JohnKielly]

OK, I got the bookmark working.

What I did was run Scott's link & then deleted all posts until no new ones showed when I ran it, at which time the link was as Scott posted it & I bookmarked that. Works all the time now.

I must get the same 5 pages. I've tried everything suggested above, but still get 5 pages, what am I doing wrong?

 

[Jeff A]

Now I'm sure. If I'm gone for awhile and logon and choose the "New Messages" button, it only shows 100 messages, never any more. Is there a fix for that?

 

[mdkeeler3]

I asked the same question and received a PM from the forum boss. This was his reply:

At the forum admin level we have set the search default to return 100 results. This applies also to "new posts" which is essentially a post search based on creation time. But limiting the results to the 100 most recent, it makes the search go way, way faster.

However, I am still not clear on how I can read the new posts I have not seen beyond the 100 that are returned when you hit the new post button?

I just go to the individual forum (reloading/optics etc) and scroll down that way until I get to the day/days posts I haven't read yet.

Someone listened because now I get 7 pages, 140 posts max. Now I'm only missing at least 60 posts per day. :-(
