Demise of "View Active Topics"

Post by FloridaClay »

I know the Admins are working on it, but I sure hate that "View Active Topics" has stopped working (you only get the 2 admin posts now). That was where I headed every day to see what was new. I know I am missing stuff now.

It works for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you getting anything on it other than the 2 administratiors' threads?

I am still getting only the 2 administrator's threads... no aggregated view of all active topics as previously. :(

I contacted an Administrator, who said that it had quite working after an "upgrade"--a sofware upgrade I'm guessing--and that they were trying to fix it.

Clay,

As I said before, this stopped working after the most recent update to the latest version of phpBB, it is a known issue with this version. MordEth is working on fixing it but I currently have no ETA. Sorry for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, please use the "View New Posts" button next to it, which does work. This will display all unread posts. They are essentially the same thing, the only difference is that "View Active Topics" will show posts you have already read.

Thank you for your patience.

I misunderstood :oops: . I was hitting "View new posts," not "View active topics." Sorry. (I never use these buttons anyway, I just look for the yellow flags on each topic.)

On my Mac (and my iPhone, too) hitting "View active topics" link I view ONLY active UK-related topics... I'm European, so I'm glad for this preference, but I would view worldwide-related active topics... Where am I wrong? :roll:
