PSA: Missing entries in 4.4.2


opentype

Recommended Posts

After upgrading to 4.4.2 you might notice that you see less entries or missing parts of entries (like images) in certain areas like Pages feed blocks. This affects stock blocks, but also third-party products. In my case for example SuperBlocks, SuperTopics, SuperList …  

The change here is that certain queries are now limited to one year, so older content that was shown before might be missing now. IPS made these changes to reduce problems on larger boards. The issue was reported and there might be improvements in the future. 

But there is not much the providers of third-party templates can do about that. It’s not a bug of these products. If you need certain items to reappear, you could try changing their publishing date.

Absolute nonsense is to create discrimination for many because of one's problems ...

Indeed, especially if it's already possible to set a day limit in pages widgets. So it makes no sense to limit this. 

This set for day limit, does not work. I'm waiting for 5 hours to find the IPS solution for my ticket. Too bad execution in this version 4.4.2

That's bad too, but hopefully all posts older than 1 year are still there. Back being serious, all those issues are the reason why I don't upgrade to a new major release too early.

There is no loss of articles. But those retroactively more than a year can not be depicted in the widget. For example, I use specific databases in which I only post. I use them to advertise my business ... And it's been created and stacked for 5 years. Now there is almost nothing ... in the widget ... I tried with 1800 days - it does not work, nothing works right ... Complete stupidity created with 4.4.2 ... What does it wait for us in 5.0 - whether to look for another platform ...

I think it's same for PM? I really dislike that limit stuff as well. PM's are like emails. At least they should have added date range option and kept default at 1 year and let user select other options i.e. start and end date selection so any given time it searches within that date range and full table scan will not happen.

I agree with you. Now with these constraints, IPS deprives communities of the past ...

Seems pretty ridiculous they'd make these sort of changes without any prior warning or even a mention in the release notes. 

 

It is sad that they do not realize what damage they have invented by accident ... And it seems they will still be at our expense. It's very unpleasant for a serious company - we're not a kindergarten to let us have a clown balloon ...

They did the same with removing the text for Next Unread Topic.  I absolutely hate not being able to see it, but they told me it was done for big boards. 

Is it so complicated in the ACP to have the opportunity - will you use this? - yes / no, with description - if your board is big, there is a risk of ...
But why should they think? Discrimination is easiest - but it often leads to leaving customers, unfortunately ...

Nah, I'm not leaving, just unhappy. 

I also write queries directly against the database to send out newsletters.  I've been doing this for many years, I never preview the newsletters.  I started getting complaints about porn in the newsletters.  Seems it was the new post before registering option.  I got the most recent 10 posts.  Clearly no one on my site used the option except porn posters, so lucky me, I sent out thousands of emails with porn in them.  I had no idea the feature was turned on.  I suspect that too was for big boards.  I've never seen it asked for here.

That feature has been request/in the works for a while now to be fair. Started in 2015:
