Title: Show unread replies and new replies is broken
Post by: Thork on June 23, 2014, 09:15:59 PM
For some time, I have suspected that these two features are broken.

I use them a lot, in fact probably 90% or more of my browsing. I rarely go trawling through actual boards. The 'new replies' tells me what is current and unread keeps me up to date with ones I am participating in.

I thought that they might be broke for some time, because there are sod all entries in either, like even when I come back after 3 days.

Below is a screen shot. How can there be 2 pages, when its only displaying 2 threads on page 1? I think its just not showing me them all.

Can you fix please?

Thanks,

His Thorkiness.

Just trawl through the boards like a normal person.

I've managed to reproduce this problem using your account with a database backup from the day you saw this happen, Thork. Now I just need to figure out what's causing it.

thanks. I now see everything.

I'll likely participate more now, as I can see I'm not the only person posting.

I haven't enough time to do that. What's new, what's replied to. I don't care about anything else.

Yeah, thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's a bit of a nasty bug, in that the more people are posting in each thread, the fewer threads you'd see. If there was always exactly one new post in every thread, you'd see them all.

Now I shall drink and try to forget about SMF's existence.
