Known Bug Warning

Recommended Posts

The "Get New Post" feature is going to be buggy until traffic on the forum (and your participation!) goes back to normal. Some of you have already noticed that when you click on the "Go to New Posts" graphic (looks something like this newpost.gif though the color differs from skin to skin), you'll get an SQL error. This is because the forum (it seems anyway) hasn't completely acknowledged that the week's worth of posts that are missing are gone, so it tries to take you to posts that you hadn't read that are no longer there. When it tries to call up said posts, it runs into an error because the posts don't exist. This error will fix itself as you read the forums more and it counts all posts up to the present as read because you've visited that topic since we've been back up. For the new few days, for threads you haven't read since the forum went down, your the numbered page links rather than the "get new posts" button.

 

Or if you want to end the problem swiftly, hit the "mark forum as read" option in the option menu (it's on the title bar for all forums). It'll rest the "have read and have not read" settings for you so that the forum no longer tries to show you unread, no longer existing posts.

 

Thanks!
