Not sure if it's been forgotten or unfixable but the Profile "Show Posts" link still doesn't beyond the 1st page. If I remember correctly the old forum had "Show posts" and something like "Show topics" where topics are the topics the person started themselves. Can the "Show posts" thing in Profile be sorted out?

once you click 'show posts' they'll be 3 sections to choose from on the page: messages, topics, and attachments.

i'm still noticing that a lot of the middle-range posts are showing up blank, though. that needs fixing.

All it shows at the moment are the first posts for topics you made. So it's exactly the same thing for "messages" and "topics."

They're the exact same thing, that is, except for the fact that "show posts" still lists the number of pages you'd need to view all of your posts. It's very noticeable with my profile, since I've only started about five topics. It shows the five posts I had as the first page in a topic on the first page (numbered 1-5), and those same five posts on the last page (numbered 20000+, based on what I assume is my current total post count), and in between I have over 1300 blank pages.

It's definitely broken in some way- almost reminds me of how unregistered guests to the forum are only able to view the first post in each topic, so it will only show posts that were the first post in a topic.

Anyway, that'd be a very nice feature to get working correctly, if you get the chance to tackle it >.<

Leave it to Steph to figure it out!

Fixed!

I wished I had seen it sooner. This problem was terrorizing me.

When I go onto my profile and select "Show Posts" I get a big problem. I have 96 pages of posts and on the first page all it shows are the new topics ive started. The rest are all blank. All except for the 96'th page which has the same thing just that the list is reversed.


see?

That part about it only showing the first post was key to figuring out the problem. I only wish I saw that post sooner.

In any case, I'm glad that issue is fixed.

It's not a big deal I'm just curious about something that appeared recently. On the main page down near the bottom in the 'Users Online' section I noticed something weird. It said

24 Guests, 12 Users (18 Spiders, 2 Hidden)

What are 'Spiders'?

They're bots. Little statistics-keeping things, and the like.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.
