Location: Indiana | If I haven't logged in for a few days and hit the "New Threads" link, not "all" of the new threads are shown, they seem to get "truncated".
Is that by design?
How do I get to "page 2" of the new threads? |

Location: Netherlands | There is no page 2. I've missed out topics aswell in the past which never showed up anymore but were posted in by others. I blame it on the quirky forum-software being used.
But you could create a 'custom' bookmark based on the following link to visit the forum:
http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/search/query.asp?collapsethreads=1&action=search&searchforumid=all&keywords=&author=&days=lastlogin
...but instead of letting the forum only show topics since your supposed last visit, you can also enter a number of days.
In the url, change the last variable "&days=lastlogin", to the number of days you like to see back, like 10; "&days=10"

Location: Netherlands | Scratch that. The list of topics generated by my last Link also gets cut-off somewhere.
Probably the search-function is limited by CPU-time, so it won't show everything anymore. It's most likely down to keep it from bringing down the entire server due to too much CPU-load, like what happened fairly regularly in the past.

Location: Indiana | I like the "&days=10" trick, but agreed, the returned list of threads is still cut short.
I don't know forum software, but is a new link up there by "New Threads" for a "One Week" possible, click the "One Week" and it shows a list of all threads within the last week.
Maybe this is the same as the "&days=" trick, but again, I don't know forum software, I'm just wondering if a link WITHOUT the "action=search" part so that it might NOT be truncated due to CPU-time.
If I miss something outside of one week, that's my own fault, but I know that I can't get here "every day". |

Location: Netherlands | The search-function is always used with links like these.
There's another link on the forumlist-indexpage; "Active posts today"
http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/search/query.asp?action=search&co...
Also here, if you change the last '0' into a '7' for instance, you get the last posts where people have been active in for the last week. But this list also gets truncated.
http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/search/query.asp?action=search&collapsethreads=1&searchforumid=all&keywords=&author=&days=7
You can also right-click the link above and save it as a bookmark/favorite. And then visit the forum through that link in the future.
I have bookmarked the 'New threads'-link, so that's what's shown first when I visit the forum/ |
