Hi,
I just tried searching my latest posts to see how many I had in the past couple of days but the first result I received was dated December 6th and I have had several posts since then.
Thanks,
Nightwalker

Hey,
Just go to your own profile page, click on the statistics tab, and then click the link that says "Find all posts by Nightwalker83".
That should give you the information that you need.
Gary
Hmm, having looked at that page, I can confirm that VB Forums "thinks" your last post was on the 6th December. Are you sure you have made posts since then? If so, can you find the threads that they were in? Perhaps the thread was deleted.
Gary
Also, note that vbforums had experienced some trouble with the server time recently. :wave:
Yes, I had at least two posts since then. Congrats on the promotion to moderator.Quote:

Thank you very much!!Quote:

Hopefully Joe or Brad will be able to shed some light on this.

Hopefully someone can figure out what is going on! This bug is no very helpful.
I need an example post to check, thanks :)
Here is the link to my recent posts as you see the first one listed is dated the 6th of December. However, posts after that are missing.Quote:

That link doesn't work. The searchid will last for a few minutes/hours, I think.Quote:

Hmm... As I said before, it wouldn't last for a long time.Quote:

I think this link will work: Click Here...
:wave:
What did you do differently to the link?
Hover the mouse over the link that I have posted and see what it is showing in the status bar of your browser.:wave:Quote:

It's the "Find all posts by" function that is the problem! For me it doesn't show my posts since the 6th of December but when I checked yours it showed you had several posts today.Quote:

That is because I am addicted :)Quote:

I would be interested to know if I am the only person on the forum having this problem? As far as I can tell I am.
Obviously your posts in this thread should be found as well...
Yes, but the problem is the posts I've made after 4:00pm 06/12/2010 have been cut from the list.
If I generate a search via the forum search function it displays nearly all my recent posts! Maybe something is stopping new posts from being registered by the "Find all posts by" script?
I can't see why it would not be working for you, but working for me. That seems a little strange.
Gary
I am wondering if one of the forum staff were using a filter and forgot to remove it?
Edit:
While searching on google for a solution to problem I found this:
That seems to be the same kind of problem I'm experiencing with my profile.Quote:

I found this on the vbulletin forum. It suggests that google might be responsible. Although, I don't know if vbforums uses adsense?
I read this over at vbulletin.com and that sounds similar to what I am experiencing.
Did one of the Admin work on server around the date of April 9th 2011? I just checked my posts and it jumps from the December 6th 2010 to April 9th 2011 within two posts.
That is the case when clicking on your username then "Find more posts by ...", but using the Search page gives the correct results (with results as Posts or Threads).
I've checked a few other members, and there is no problem with them.
Strange. :confused:
Yeah, and what is weird is that as I stated in my previous post it seems to jump from December 6th 2010 to April 9th 2011 for no apparent reason. Hopefully Brad will be able to inform us of the goings on forum maintenance on 9th of April.Quote:

Hopefully Brad (or the other admins) will be able to work it out.
I'll ask Heidi to take a look at this tread. It might be something simple like an index that needs rebuilt.
Brad!
Heidi took a look at this. One of the index tables has an issue. She will run "clean up" at a slower time of the day for this forum. That should fix the issue.
Stay tuned.
Brad!
Although, like other things on the planet the forum is not immune from breaking or having problems and should have a checkup every so often to make sure everything is working as it should be.Quote:

Brad!
Yes, that finally solved the problem.Quote:
