Joe,

After I create a new posting, I click <New Posts>
-- my new posting is no longer displayed; other users new postings are displayed under new posts!
-- in the past the my new postings were always displayed here!
-- this problem is only recent!



However, when I click <Today's Posts> under Quick Links, my new posting is displayed

Hi bigdog, I have recently changed the way that the forum remembers which threads you have read. You can read about it in more detail in this thread. Previously when you logged out, or timed out, all of the "New Posts" were reset and any that you didn't read were considered to be read. Now the forum remembers what threads you have read even after you log out and come back the next day, so you can go back and review unread threads from days or even weeks ago.

My best guess is that because you wrote the post, the forum considers that you have read it, and it no longer shows up as a new post.

For what it is worth, I vote that it be changed back Joe.

Hi Joe,

Disagree with the change implemented.

I always conduct a review after I have made my new posting and make changes if required.
-- I would imagine that there are many others that perform after posting changes
-- I am sure that many new postings are updated with using the "review" function!

 

[Joe Blow]

I appreciate the feedback. I will continue to look into the issue and see if there is any way that I can get read threads to show up in the list of "New Posts" but in regular rather than bold text.

Just a note that the length of time unread threads show up in "New Posts" can be changed. It is currently set to 10 days, but this can be modified.

I like the changes
Sometimes change is good

New posts now displays all postings that I have not reviewed
-- there are many that I have no interest in and will never read!

Currently my new postings has 217 items that date back to May 27 2013
-- this number will grow forever
-- what is the impact on your database of tracking unread items from May 27 forever into the future years?

In my current session I do frequently revisit read posting that I read, but they are no longer displayed
-- eg The Gillard Government

I believe the purging action should action should be effected upon closing a session, not during the session!

Many thanks

Purging occurs after 10 days, but this is a setting that can be modified by me, so it can realistically be any number of days. However, 10 days appears to be the default.

Once a new post is added to a thread that has been read, it will reappear at the top of the list of threads in "New Posts".

New posting listings:

I believe the purging of "READ" postings should be actioned after closing a session, not during the session!

This will allow members to revisit read items!

I understand your concerns bigdog, and will look into the issue further. However, as I mentioned in my previous post, once a new post is added to a thread that has been read, it will automatically re-appear at the top of the list of threads in "New Posts".

Just so I can get a feel for this, do many people re-visit threads that they have already read all the way though to the end? Before a new post is added I mean.

Agree with all the above. Another vote for returning to how it was.
And the icon directing to the first new post in a thread is this morning working occasionally but more often going back to mid May which is really irritating.

This is easily fixed by you clicking on the "Marked Forums Read", then they won't appear again.

I think you may be one of the few who does this - anybody else?

I assume that it is not often so there are other ways to quickly find a thread.

I don't have an issue either way or the other, old or new changes. The advantage of the changes are that this forum now works the same as nearly all the others and it now clearly shows only those posts not yet read which I like, but can do without if there are lots of complaints. Some will like it others not - most people don't like change - period.

Cheers

I believe the purging of "READ" postings should be actioned after closing a session, not during the session!
-- read items were previously identified as unbold format items
-- unread items were identified in bold

If read posts drop off the display list after you read them, should you want to go back to them for what ever reason you have to search for them!!

Far better is to restore the prior process and read remain on the list in "unbold".

i have subscribed to a heap of threads, and set it to send me instant emails in "thread tools", but i am not receiving emails when new posts are added?

i do receive emails from ASF from time to time though about advertising.

You should be receiving your thread subscription emails. I have subscribed to this thread to see whether there is a problem with the system, or whether it's a more isolated issue.

Will let you know when I know more.

Could those who have active thread subscriptions please let me know if you are also not receiving your notification emails.

Thanks! I am posting now to (hopefully) trigger the email

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

It seems the system is working correctly. Could you check your junk or spam folder to see if they're in there. Could you also please double check your subscription settings. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this.

I have checked spam folders and nothing there. But the strange thing is I just got an email saying you replied to this thread. so it seems to be sorted now, thanks very much
