Thread: New Posts

    Default New Posts

    Can an advanced option be added to New Posts? Sometimes if I get a list, I'll leave it up for me to check out the new post entries over several trips to the computer. But sometimes, either I or someone here at home will reboot and the list goes back to the most recent, which may be completely empty when there's nothing new in the past few hours.

    Can a search option be added to look for posts from the past day, couple of days or week?

    We currently have the option to view the day's posts if that will help

    http://www.treatingyourself.com/vbulletin/search.php?do=getdaily


    For anyone who has not previously found it, the link is available under the drop down menu of Quick Links, although I just manually change do=getnew to do=getdaily.

    I wonder if by clever search terms, we might also be able to do what you want as we can search by time period.

    You know what else would be good? If the fucking subscribed thread email notifications actually worked at all, ever.

    The only way to carry out a quality argument here is by chance, and then we sit back bitching about why there is no forum activity.

    I totally agree that the e-mail notifications should be back ever since the server went down a few months ago therehas been no e-mail notifications??..

    Default "new posts in threads"

    I have NEVER (all these years) had any e-mails because of "new posts" in threads. Maybe it is shut off because of data flow? Costs? If I remember well I did ask "the why" before but never got a correct answer as of why it (the forum software) actually doesn't send me mails. All is marked every time again...but no mails. I'm used to it kinda...but you forget easily to watch certain things and go by unanswered. Which is bad, because that way it looks as if you are no longer interested.

    You have to make sure the feature is enabled in your profile/user control panel.

    I used to get them every 24 hours which is nearly every bit as useless as not at all.

    Then I set it to immediate notification and got them once or twice..then it just went back to 24h and then stopped working at all. I'm pretty sure that fucked up before the server change. Haven't been getting them for awhile.

    That's a really pathetic feature to have so broken if you want a functioning forum.

    I have changed the time from less than 20 mins minutes to a couple days. Let me know if this helps, if not I will return the new posts to the original timeframe in 30 days from this post. If it is helpful, I will make it for one day.

    Thumbs up

    Since yesterday "for the first time" (!) I'm getting mails from this forum, telling me that there are "new posts".
    So thank you for making that possible! Now it no longer seems that "one doesn't' care" because of not being alerted to "new posts"!
    Thank you.

    Yay! I made something useful, lol :P

    I will trim back the time to mark the board as read to 1 day so that after a day of being logged in it will no longer display the "old" new posts without having to manually mark them as read.

    ?do=getdaily will return results for the day only while ?do=getnew would return results since your last visit.

    But what seems confusing is when I click on "New Posts" (?do=getnew) I dont see ALL NEW posts, Just some with some older posts a swell. But when I click "Todays Post" (?do=getdaily) I see todays post with the NEW Todays POSTS as well. LOL

    Guess its just confusing because, when I click "New Posts" I dont actually see all new posts. If this isint a recent change, I must have missed many many new posts! LoL

    I'm slowly working on little bugs here and there, it could be very well related to some of the database issues I have ran into... I will keep looking into it

    Same here. Thanks. I know a few others who make changes to other sites, so I know how difficult it is, especially the pleasing everyone part.

    Yeah, it's hard to please everyone, but right now I am doing my best to get TY into shape so that everyone can enjoy their time here. I am glad other members appreciate what I am doing, that makes it worth doing!
