Forum Frustration

I am trying to get a look at the posts since my last visit. The problem is that the last visit counter has for some reason reset to the current visit.

No problem, right? Just go to “Search” and search for all posts since yesterday, when I was on last.

BUT, I can’t do the search unless I put in a search term!

So I try “a”, but that’s too common.

Since my last visit time has been reset, I’m going to have to go through the forums manually, now. It’s a bit frustrating.

MB - can you take a look at this, maybe offer a way to search all posts since a certain time/date without having to enter a search string?

If you don’t have the time, then PM me and maybe I can add that feature (I am a reasonably accomplished PHP programmer myself)

Thanks!

Aww. Well the one’s you have allready replied to earlier you find under “User CP”, as subscribed threads. :slight_smile: Just in case you didnt know :slight_smile:
The other ones.. Gahh I see what you mean :confused:

i’d love that feature as well.

That sounds like a cookie problem on your side, when you click “New Posts” you should see all new posts since your latest visit.

Try clearing your cookies.

That happens regularly to me too when Im logged in long time. At some point all “old” new posts disappear and I wonder if some new posts got ignored between “old” and “new” new posts.

Ohh, that’s something different, that’s the “Cookie Timeout” which is set at 15 mins.

Meaning, you have 15 mins to read the new posts, after 15 mins they are set as “old posts”.

MB,

There’s also the problem that my 3-year old son plays on my computer and occaisionally clicks on my Favorites link to EF.

Also, there have been more than a few times when I have come to the forum main page and been called away for some reason, only to come back and have all the messages lost.

Even changing the cookie timeout wouldn’t fix those issues.

The search feature I requested would. From the other comments, I don’t think I’m the only one who would like it.

I understand if you may be too busy to deal with this right now. Please remember, I have offered to do the coding for you. As a little reassurance, allow me to offer at least this proof of my competence, on the OSCommerce Forum

I’m happy to help out, if I can!

If you are away for more than 1 day (which you shouldnt :smiley: ) you can add “&days=X” replacing X with number of days, a 2 day search would look like this…
