Thread: Has something been done to the new posts button in the forums ?

  1. #1

    Default Has something been done to the new posts button in the forums ?

    Is it just me or has something been done to the 'new posts' button in the forums ? When I post on a thread and go back via the new posts button the thread I posted on has vanished from the list, which is very annoying if you want to edit your post or go back to re-read something ! This has only just started happening today, is it a glitch ?

    No Becky, it's not just you! It's the same here.
    I have had to search through 'Activity Stream' to find posts.
    Very annoying ....

    Looks like there's been a Forum update.

    Why mess with something that worked perfectly well before ?! Please put it back to the way it was eBid, I don't want to have to go searching for the threads or having to think about switching buttons every time I post or look at a thread and want to go back.

    I did wonder that as I had a 'glitch' with the forums earlier and noticed a 2018 vBulletin copyright date at the bottom of the forum page.

    I would have thought that they would have been very wary of updating the forums after the last debacle.

    The same thought crossed my mind too.

    I agree. In order to see the most recent posts a person needs to use the 'activity stream' function. At least that's how it's working for me now.

    As soon as you post, the thread disappears from the 'What's New' list

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it comes to mind.

    In their place, the only way I would touch the forums again would be to address a major security issue that couldn't be resolved any other way.

    The issue I noticed yesterday was when I first entered the forums. On clicking on What's New I got a few new posts then several pages of threads listed under (something like) 'The following threads have not been updated but contain unread posts'.
