Issues with new forum

Figured this should go here. The new forum is great but:

- where is the new releases thread? I can't find it anywhere

- the indexing seems off - the search doesn't work properly, the wrong user is listed as starting some threads (eg I apparently started the ondes postitives thread even though I didn't) and the most recent post listed isn't the most recent in some cases (eg new library heads-up)

If these aren't fixable it will matter less over time but seemed worth noting these in case they were not known about and are fixable.

Thanks for all the hard work anyway!

Hey Ben,

This might be connected to my original Disco account seemingly being deleted or something, and threads that I started (Upcoming Vinyl OSTs) disappearing/you being incorrectly attributed a thread that I began (Ondes Positives)...?

Or I may be getting paranoid - time to dust off the old tinfoil helmet I reckon.... :D

Hey Scott, that makes a lot of sense. Long live the new flesh.

I do miss the new and upcoming releases thread though :)

I'll just add, pics are HUGE on my shit! There doesn't seem to be any re-sizing going on for display...

Cheers!

The pic issue is due to the migration of toehold forum , new pics should be smaller!

I added a script to resize the old images if they are larger than x wide.
it adjusts them after the entire page loads. new issues should be fine though.

You're the best @monster. Once again (since this thread is just loads of pesky persnickerty mini-moans...) THANK YOU for rescuing our beloved forum.

" Show Off Your Latest Purchases (OST) "

This thread keeps popping up in my new posts list, but when I view the thread I only see posts from 2013. The 'Last Post' for the thread shows Layne posted something there a half hour ago, but I don't see it.

Anyone else?

@texas I noticed the same thing as well. might be time to blow that thread up and start a new one.


EDIT: I went ahead and locked the old thread and started a new show off thread here.

The same thing is happening at Lost River OST - Johnny Jewel. Maybe this thread can be a test subject for figuring out how some old threads might be salvaged.

Although there are new posts on certain topics, when I browse those topics, I cannot see those latest posts. Anyone experience the same thing?

Yes, Some of the threads seem to have gone bad.

Monster should we lock those threads as they pop up?

No, no need to lock or create a new one.

Which thread in particular? I should be able to fix this by setting permissions for one that does work.

let me know.
