BBS User CP issue

[clerick]

I have a lot of posts that i have replied to that are not showing up as being recently updated.  Started about 2 days ago.

Could you be more specific?  I have no idea what that means.

In user c.p. the list of recently subscribed threads is not showing our recently subscribed threads, I have the same problem.

Also, the icons that are dark when there is a new post in a thread, but faded when you have read that thread? They stay faded much of the time, even when there are new posts.

The settings for all that is stored in a cookie on your computer.  Email notifications are a different beast, and we recently removed all thread/forum subscriptions as there were too many accounts with bogus email addresses set to get email notification.  You just have to subscribe again.

But if you are expecting an email notification, you will need to enable it in your "User CP" as those were all turned off recently due to the same above problem.

Email notification is causing us a lot of grief.  More and more ISP's are taking to blocking all email from our servers due to people complaining about the notifications rather than simply turning them off in thier User CP.  So, we turned them all off.  If you want those, you will have to turn it on.

If you want the ICONS to reflect the correct status of the forum and thread, you will have to allow the cookie the bulletin board uses to be stored on your computer.

My cookies are allowed.  It appears to only be affecting the threads i subscribed to within the past few days.  With a few exceptions the new subscriptions are not showing up while the older ones are.



This is a screen shot of my CP within 10 minutes of posting on 4 threads.  Keep in mind that i had been posting to these threads quite a bit the 24 hours prior to this.  When i select "show threads from" "last day" i get only 4 threads showing there, none of them are new.  I have even tried to subscribe to a thread manually, but still no luck.

thanks.

It appears to be broken.  I have no idea why, but will see if I can find out.  Did you have email notifications turned on in your CP?  That is what has changed in the last few days.

[clerick]

I don't think i had e-mail notification on.  IIRC it wouldn't let me set it up because i use hotmail.

[Skuzzy]

By default it was enabled.  I forced them all off the other day in all BB accounts.

I use a hotmail account and get notifications.

Skuzzonator,


My e-mail notifications were enabled & cookies were on; but like the previous posters I would post in a thread and it would not automatically subscribe me.

It seems that the settings were changed when you guys did an update/adjusted some settings on the BBS & boards members settings changed w/o notice.

I fixed my settings and am back up and running, so to speak.

Ratt, are you getting auto-subscribed again?  I still am not and I cannot find the setting for this.

[raider73]

It wont subscribe the threads i post it used to automatically and it doesn't anymore. Now i have to go through all my threads to find ones i posted to look for replies.
