New posts not showing my posts!

[clivedurdle]

As above! I post several things, go to new posts to see where else I would like to go, and what I have just posted is not there!

That would be because once you make the post. It is no longer new to you.

I find that annoying too, clive. Your new posts dont show up in new posts. Also, once you've read a thread, that thread does not show up in your subscriptions unless you click on all subscribed threads. It's a very different vBull setup than I am used to.

So what?

Why the extra definition? It is still a new post - not "all new posts except.."

[Alethias]

so...you want all posts that you've read to be marked as read, except for the post that you've just made that you've already read, right?

I don't think that would be all that easy to achieve, since the software tracks whether or not a page has been read by whether or not the server has presented the page to you, and the touch on that page that you get when the screen refreshes after you make a post counts towards that.

If I'm approaching the problem back-assward and there is some easy way of achieving what you want I'll be happy to do it, but I'm not seeing it.

IIRC, when I made a post at IIDB, it did show up on new posts.

Not here, or the two HHs. Or RnR, I think.

It must be doable, and I find them not showing at once a minor inconvenience sometimes.

Generally when making a post in a thread before reading to the end of a thread.

Something that experience shows is not generally the wisest thing to do anyway.

Not that that always stops me:(

Yeah, this was one of the things I noticed about Heathen Hub when I started posting. I must have been used to it at IIDB.

I think if we get a postspy feature with version 3.7 this weekend, it'll pretty much satisfy this need to be sure what you've posted is actually there.

postspy would be great. I was surprised too that I failed to find my own posts.

[clivedurdle]

Just looked for this thread in bugs and couldn't see it! Found it from my profile,

It is so much easier to have a complete record - and yes it does sound like something has been made more complex than it need be! Keep it simple stupid!

[Alethias]

I'd be happy to do it, but at this point no obvious solution presents itself.

But I will look at postspy tonite and see if that's a feasible addon to implement. If that solves the problem then that's kool.

It feels to me the problem is upstream - not requiring a further fix downstream - something has been set to hide your own posts that just requires switching off.

If so, it ain't obvious to me:dunno:

Is it something to do with this - what is defining new? Why do we get other people's new posts showing?

There must be a codeline somewhere... all new posts except..
