    Is it just me ?

    Since a few days, the "New Posts" link on the forum doesn't work for me : I always get the "No posts match your search" screen.
    Does anybody else have this problem ?

    Thanks anyway.

    Apparently, this problem occurs if I don't post for some time. I've not posted for a while and I can't get the "New Posts" button to work again (while it worked around the days when I posted).

    Maybe is it a "anti-lurker" device ?

    Doh! You have figured out my secret plan.

    I will look into it and see what I can find.

    I find that the new post search will time out in using it if I do not look at all the post in a certain amount of time. I seems the same exists for the post to be considered new posts. So when I come in to respond to a particular thread and take a while, I will get the same response. Apparently this is how I missed this thread, since I usually check for new posts when coming. I have tried to simulate the guest default search of a day's worth of post to no avail. Some times when I return to the new post search results, the down arrow that takes you to the first post that you have not read start to disappear.

    Thanks, Cpt Lundgren.

    spshu : I know of the "New Posts" being cleared if I take too long before reading them all. However, here, I just log on the board, click the "New Post" link, and get the "Sorry, no posts match your search" message.
    I don't post as much as I did (actually, I hardly post at all currently ), but I still enjoy lurking here.

    It's just a cookie timeout. If you sit on a thread long enough it'll clear your history and nothing will be "new" again. I'm not sure where the code is held, though. It would be easy enough to up the duration, I'd imagine.

    It's now happening to me


    Yes, I see you know what I mean.

    I have read your answer to my post, but only again via Mail. I have just now tried logging out and back on again. I'll see what happens...
