new posts?

Have a question about the website or a suggestion? Found a typo? Something not working right on the forum?

new posts?

Postby Red » Fri May 30, 2008 1:35 pm

how comes the 'new posts' feature doesn't work half the time? :cry:
i miss a lot of posts because it says i already read them, but if i click on them because i know better, sure enough, i hadn't seen a lot of them. *grumble*
pfft!

I think the software is making the statistical assumption that the new posts are by me, and therefore not worth your time. Granted, this will constitute an error a small fraction of the time, but usually it is correct.

You're not uber yet and until then your complaints and posts don't count.

I didn't make the rules.

Can you do that 41 more times before the day is through?

Now you're just cheating. I thought long and hard about my posts after about 980 or so. I wanted to make sure 1000 was something special but it probably ended up being a dick or fart joke.

I think there is an algorithm that removes withahip's youtube posts.

I keed I keed

I don't know. Same thing happens to me. Sometimes I don't get notified via e-mail on new posts on subscribed topics either. It might have something to do with cookies or rifts in space-time. We'll just file that with life's big mysteries like "what happened before the big bang" and "why did I eat that whole can of Pringles?"

Or one day I'll Google it and get the hack that fixes it. :wink:
