Keith_W Posted January 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear moderators and admin, I have noticed this problem for some time but only got around to taking screenshots to bring it to your attention today. I read my posts on the Leica Forum like this: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! 1. Click on "View New Content" 2. Any threads that interest me - I right click and open in a new tab. In this case, I opened four tabs (just to demonstrate the problem) 3. I go to the bottom of the page and click NEXT. I have suspected for a while that it skips the same number of threads that you opened in separate tabs when it goes to page two. Note in this case - the bottom thread is "Gentlemen prefer blondes". As you can see, the next page loads. Note the thread on the top is "Barnack's Monthly for Jan 2018...". What happens when we go back to page 1 (by clicking on the 1 button)? As predicted, three threads failed to display when I clicked on NEXT. Below the "Gentlemen prefer blondes" thread, there are three threads which did not show up when page two was selected. I know this is a function of forum software, and I suspect that you will not be able to fix this until you upgrade the forum software or switch to another vendor. However, I was wondering if admin would mind diving into the settings to see if you can fix this.

Keith_W Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Bump. Not sure if a mod or admin has seen this. Edited January 8, 2018 by Keith_W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 8, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2018 I am confined to the mobile version of the forum right now, so I can not reproduve the problem. I can not even call it to the attention of any moderators who can. However:try and refresh the page before changing to page 2. If that fails, use the report button to call the thread to the attention of my colleagues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks Pop. I did consider using the report button, but that is "only for offensive posts and not to communicate with moderators". So I didn't. My next step would be to find the admin of this site and send him/her a PM - if they don't see this thread that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 8, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 8, 2018 Using the reporting button is not considered an abuse here. It's merely efficient and convenient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted April 21, 2018 Well after some time with no response from admin, I came up with my own solution for avoiding this problem (yes it still exists): 1. Click "View New Content" 2. Click ">>" to go to the last page of posts 3. Navigate backwards to the first page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 21, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 21, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Because you have opened the tabs, the software no longer flags it as new content for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 25, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 25, 2018 Does this explain the situation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted April 27, 2018 Yes it does, but it does not solve the problem. The only way out (short of changing forum software settings) is to do what i've done, which is to navigate backwards from the last page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
