Teddy Rogers Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I wanted to quickly track down an old topic/post I made on this board and went to my profile...http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showuser=46582 ...unfortunately on clicking the topics and posts tabs nothing showed up. Erm... why? Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Odin Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'd say it's because you're trying to track down a post that was made on perhaps IPSBeyond (or maybe on the community forums before it was re-arranged) so the topic you posted in might of been trashed already. Makes sense, but any useful posts someone made in the past is lost forever :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Rogers Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 No that should not be it. I have made lots of topics and posts since IPSBeyond was merged or whatever they did. In fact just having looked at my profile again this topic came up. :huh: To me it looks as if there is a bug somewhere... Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teraßyte Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 From IPB 2.3.5 they added a time check to reduce load on big board. So now it checks only for posts/topics made in the last 15 days if i don't mistake (or maybe a month :huh:)EDIT: To see all your topics/posts you need to use the proper option (Find Member's Topics, Find Member's Posts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Rogers Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I added some input on the changes, maybe Invision will consider the suggestion?Why not change the topics and posts tabs to the last 5 or 10 topics/posts or something like that and/or have a setting in ACP to specify the value? Change the feature completely from producing results from dates and times to actual posted content? Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrisecc Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Brandon has announced that this will be a variable (system option?) in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Originally, it pulled the last 5 (regardless of date). It was found that this is quite resource intensive on some bigger boards, and a user found that by restricting the result set by date first, and then pulling the last 5, that the query is much more efficient. While this is true, on some boards when you don't have 5 posts for the profile in the last 40 days (I think the limit is 40 days btw), you get no results as you found. There is a class-level variable you can change in the tabs to increase this date restriction, or turn it off, but in IPB3 we will likely make this configurable from the ACP (depending on the actual profile changes).

The board I admin for recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and I was told that the default cut off was 40 days from the original posting date, but that it could be increased if desired. (Where this is done, I'm not sure, possibly by ticket?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
