[resolved] [bug] "View New Posts" not behaving as expected - Kiri - 2 November 2021 Re: View New Posts I've put the "Today's Post" link back into the header menu... I don't know how/why this would affect anything, but let me know if it does or doesn't fix whatever is going on. :V [resolved] [bug] "View New Posts" not behaving as expected - Ems - 2 November 2021 (2 November 2021, 05:33 PM)Kiri Wrote: Re: View New Posts Weird, it literally works now.

Though, now that I'm looking, I think I may have been using "View Today's Posts" in the past (pre-taking it away) instead of "View New Posts" xD Either that, or something's changed recently-ish. I had four unread threads in "View Today's Posts," whereas "View New Posts" only showed one of those four (the most recent one)? The "View Today's Posts" was accurate with the actual unread threads I had, the "View New Posts" was not :O RE: [bug] "View New Posts" not behaving as expected - Kiri - 7 October 2022 Fifty years later, I look at the code for New VS Today's Posts and this is how it's rigged to run: Toda's posts is very straightforward. It just shows threads whose last post was in the last 24 hours of the time the search is run (link is clicked). New posts is more weird because it's new posts since the user's "last visit" which is the starting time of a user's last session. Sessions time out after 15 minutes of inactivity (no clicks on board, so even if you have a tab open with the forum, if you haven't clicked anything in 15 minutes, a new "last visit" time is set once you click something again). Let's say you visit the board at 12:00 and are active until 12:15. Only posts made after12:00 should show up in New Posts. Posts made prior to your most recent visit aren't "new." Say 4 posts are made between 12:00 and 12:15. You idle out and return later at 12:30. 10 posts were made between 12:15 and 12:30, while you were away. None of these posts would show up in New Posts. That's the intended function. Let me know if that's not what's happening. :> |
