kandc_au Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Since the upgrade when I go to view new content it defaults to Forums/past 24hrs/Just items I follow. If I deselct the last, and then go to page 1 all is fine, when I go to page 2 or rather try to, I am back to Forums/past 24hrs/just items I follow. Hopefully in the fullness of time this issue may be sorted. Khris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Could it be there is only one page ? It seems ok for me on Forums/Past Month/All There are problems though as "go to first unread post" has stopped working - along with the emailed link - both just go to the op of the first page of a topic.  It seems that there are quite a few issues in the aftermath of the  attack Could try deleting cookies?

stewartingram Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm working ok on XP Pro with latest IE updates, I normally go to posts since last visit, and it is landing at the last unread post in each case for me. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandc_au Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi Kenton, Below is all I have the option of: Other     Just items I follow     Items I participated in     Items I started     Filter by forum Currently there is no "all"option!

Kenton Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Sorry Khris, I didn't quite mean it as an option - but if none of the 'options' are highlighted then you get 'All' which is the default. What I'm not sure about is how to get back to that position without deleting cookies as I want to see all New content, not missing anything. [Ed.] Ah, simples just click again on the highlighted option eg. 'Just items I follow' and it acts like a toggle menu. deselecting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I am experiencing the same/similar problem. Every time I click on "View New Content" I get the setting for "Just Items I Follow" switched on (even if I have just switched it off). It seems like the toggle for "Just Items I Follow" is broken? This then has the result of not being able to get past page 1 when viewing items I don't follow. I do the following to reproduce: 1) Go to homepage 2) Click VNC 3) I'm taken to the new content page but with the "Just Items I Follow" switched on 4) I toggle "Just Items I Follow" off by clicking it 5) I'm taken to the first page of new content 6) I click page 2 of new content 7) I'm taken to the new content page but with the "Just Items I Follow" switched on again - infuriating! I can never get past page 1 of new content and the "Just Items I Follow" seems permanently stuck on. I'm using Safari 5.1.5 on OSX 10.7.3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Can you clear the browser's temporary files and cookies please and see if that has any effect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandc_au Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi Andy, Just for the record I didn't need to clear the cookies, to sort the issue when I had it. It righted itself! Khris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
northendboy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Glad I'm not the only one suffering from this. I can't seem to set the priorities on the new content page, and just get the 'just items I follow' list, which as reported by lyneux above does not let me move on to page 2, as it returns to 'just items I follow'. IE9, cleared browser history, Win7 64-bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 clearing history will have no effect as it is a cookie based bit of information. You need to delete the many RMWeb cookies (probably only one but I don't know which) - remember if you delete cookies you will need to log in again.

lyneux Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Can you clear the browser's temporary files and cookies please and see if that has any effect? I'm away from home so can't try on the laptop, but I'm experiencing the same problem browsing on the iPad with Safari and have cleared my cookies but to no avail. I'll try with Firefox and Chrome when I get home to see if it is a browser dependent problem or somehow related to my user account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyneux Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think it must be some account-related database setting as I have tried clearing cookies and temporary files with the folllowing: 1) Safari + OSX 2) Firefox + OSX 3) Firefox 11 + Windows XP 4) IE 8 + Windows XP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyneux Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 This problem has now disappeared as of an hour ago. Have there been further fixes applied? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've been having diverse problems on here using Safari - mostly to do with long waits for pages to load. I cleared my cookies (I had 3500 of the things...) emptied the cache. Last night when most of Europe was asleep it was back to normal being very fast, indeed. Oncw I was awake it was even slower than ever. Like a lot of others I've recently added SOPHOS to my IMac and I'm wondering whether it is that. Like so many times, however, you feel like you are just chasing your tail.....it could my hard drive is failing for all I know. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Like so many times, however, you feel like you are just chasing your tail.....it could my hard drive is failing for all I know. Done a hard drive defragment recently? lots of small fragmented files really slow down computers especially if they are part of the OS or programs. (This happens a lot to programs such as browsers that update themselves) It gets worse the larger the disk drive capacity gets and the higher the percentage it is filled. Browser caching in particular tends to be dropped on the disk all over the place - due to the relatively small size, hence the need to regularly clean up the cache.

trisonic Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well I run the Disc Utility on my Imac every couple of days or so. Yesterday it informed me that "Repair Permissions" would take 14 hours! It didn't it took the usual 20 minutes or so. I've often thought of getting a standalone program for it but everyone tells me I don't need to, so I dunno really... Best, Pete.

johnfp Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The problem is happening again - has there been an upgrade to the forum software recently? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Had the same problem a week or so back, John. It is a software bug and thanks to Martin Wynne, the solution is here... Hi Gordon, There is a bug in the software. To escape from it, do this: 1. toggle off the Just items I follow option. 2. while it is showing off, under By time period change to a different time period from your existing setting. 3. go to View New Content again. 4. change back to the time period you actually want. Hope this works for you. This IP.Board software is a constant battle of wits. Martin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
