[RESOLVED] Go to Page, not working in [Visual Basic 6 and Earlier] Forum

[jcis]

Tested with IE 8 and Firefox, It's not going to the page entered, it just keeps showing page 2. It works fine in other subforums like VB.NET.

your screen shot says it all... there are only two pages... it even says so: "Page 2 of 2" .... I suspect your filtering is restricting the number of pages, leaving you only with 2.

Good point, then where can I customize this filtering? never did it before.

Edit: By the way, it's not a search, it's the VB Classic first page.

It doesn't work in .Net either. You can't Go To a page higher than the n in page 1 of n. The "problem" if it is one and not a feature is that you have to go to User CP|Edit Options and change the Default Thread Age Cutoff to a larger number. There IS a bug here and that is that before you can save the change you will need to fill in ALL the Miscellaneous options. (You can use fake entries if you're concerned).

I didn't say it was a search... at the bottom of every forum, there's a Display Option section that allows you to filter down what you see in the forums.

In the screen shot attached, you can see my settings for Forum Feedback. You can change the settings for the different forums.

MArtin - Eh? I've never had to fill out the Miscellaneous section. Ever.


- moments later -


Oh... huh... is that new? When did that happen? And why?

-tg

Edit - and shouldn't there have been some kind of indicator to these new "required" field? Otherwise people are going to fill in data... get error... fill in in more - get another error .... repeat until success or cancel is clicked.

That's it, thank you. I've never seen it before, it's true (as martin says) it's not keeping the filter selected but for me it's good enough.

It happened during the last upgrade and for why, you'll need to ask the vBulletin gods.

You can make the change globally as I suggested and the filter selected will be kept.
