New Posts Wonkery

All of a sudden, new posts in the Minecraft forum are not showing up when I use the "New Posts" link. Was there a change that makes this the expected behavior? If not, is everyone else seeing the same thing or is it just me?

    FWIW, I just clicked new posts: saw this thread and a bunch of Minecraft threads.

    Well... this thread isn't in the Minecraft forum :P

    The fact that you get Minecraft threads in your New Posts list and I don't is strange though =/

    What link are you using Ardi? (for "New posts")
  • ardichokeardichoke Icrontian

    The one at the bottom of the community page. Shows up in Orange. Right next to "Today's Posts", copy/paste of the link is: http://icrontic.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=26,57,37,117,124,135

    I use Today's posts and always see the gaming/minecraft/WoW posts, etc.

    New posts does have one extra "exclude" (the numbers at the end of the link) so it must exclude the gaming forum?

    Perhaps.... what's strange though is that it never did that for me before today

    I see the same right now. Three threads in Minecraft that I'm not seeing via New Posts.

    Minecraft forum is forum 135 so therefore is excluded from the "New Posts" link.

    135 is included in both new posts links.

    And by included, you mean excluded if you read that image you posted.

    You make a good point. Even so, when I click "new posts," I get every single Minecraft thread from the Minecraft forum. Peculiar.

    You're a mod, correct? Perhaps that makes a difference?

    That's a good point. Now I'm curious.

    "New Posts" should indeed exclude the Minecraft forum. Brian requested it.

    So, because Brian doesn't play Minecraft, everyone else gets their New Posts button made less useful? :(

    Oh come on. The WoW threads, the D&D threads, the entire Travian forum; all those are excluded from new posts because they were a select subset of the membership.

    But blame me if you want, sure.

    Seems reasonable to me.

    Point of clarification: I was just trollin' with my whutadick comment, I don't actually mind I just wish someone would have let us know about the change instead of just up and making it. Perhaps there should be a sticky and locked thread for site changes like this? Just a suggestion.

    This.

    If I hadn't noticed this thread, I would just have thought that no one ever talked about Minecraft again because I normally only browse the forum via the New Posts button.

    I never played any of those other games so I didn't know that the had also been excluded. It does make a certain sense, but other games that had lots of threads, like TF2 never got excluded...

    I blamed you because Linc phrased his explanation like it was a personal request for your convenience, rather than a normal part of forum management. :cool:
