Questions about the WBO

[Image: facethreadmessedup.jpg]
Look at the post number, now look at the pages...

Maybe that's your problem, J o n?
I think the bug of the last page not showing up might have come back, but otherwise things seem good.

But it says 1636 posts. If what you said is true, then it would of said 1640 posts.

What did this update do anyways?

We were actually not capable of completing the update, apparently, but another attempt will be made later. It's just a software update - on forums, keeping your software updated is the best way to avoid exploits, bugs, etc.

What thread was it ?

That bug was already there, albeit for much smaller durations, over the past month or so.
Really? I haven't seen it, or the disappearing post bug, at all. I'd assumed they were resolved...
Something completely identical has occurred to me a number of times in the past month, albeit nowhere near as often as it was when it got really bad. Maybe it's something else, but I've seen the same symptoms, anyway.
Could you describe, in a bit more detail, what you're talking about? And, is anyone else experiencing it?
Not much I can say, to be honest, other than it is identical to the bug where the most recent page doesn't show and you are redirected to the first page, and again it seems either more common on, or limited to, the larger threads.
Hm. Does it require the same "fix"(ie: quoting a post in order to see recent posts), or does re-visiting the page fix it? If it is the latter, I had that happen once earlier today during the restoration.
I haven't actually checked the quoting thing (slipped my mind), but I can say I obtained the pid from the "last post" link in the thread list, and used that to edit one of my posts when I realised after-the-fact I'd made an error.
When it happened to me yesterday, my time (i.e. well before the upgrade occurred), reloading, as well as revisiting the page didn't make it show.

It's not a common occurrence by any means, it's only happened a few times over the past month or two.
Has anybody noticed anything wrong since my attempt to upgrade, anything missing, not opening ... ?
I have not noticed anything, outside of the initial stuff. In all of my browsing since then, I've not seen any errors or anything that stood out as hinky.
*sigh* you look at the first comments of this thread when the WBO was fresh. Now, the WBO is so dang big and supperior! *sniffle* websites, they grow so fast! Anyway! i'm having trouble with the search function! every time i type in the specific name of the thread it says, "no matches found" or something like that! a little help please?
Are you sure you are pressing the "Search Titles Only" bubble below the search box?
i tried that and it still won't work! i'm trying to get to that thread talking about banning basalt.
What are you searching ... There is basic logic involved in searches ... You will get more results if you search "ban" than if you search "banning", that is obvious ...

Well, if you typed in exactly "Banning Basalt" it probably wouldn't work. The thread is called "Should we Ban Basalt". So the phrase typed in aren't keywords of the title.
Search

In the upper left hand corner type in "ban basalt"

Below where you just typed are two radio buttons, make sure the black dot is in the lower button: search titles only

Then press search at the bottom of the page
it's working now! :3 wow! a lot of people answering my question! like my momma says: "great minds think alike!"

Most of the times The links for the 'last post' in 'Latest Threads'(highlighted in the pic in Spoiler) do not work for me. Whenever I click on last post, it just takes me to the top. Thats the only problem I found. Otherwise the thread and the username's links work well.
Oh, that "Last Post" link never worked hah. It has been like that since the beginning of Beywiki, from what I can remember.
And it was not too significant as well so I didnt bother to see if it worked before.
