Can't view my latest posts?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 6:17 am

When I attempt to view my posts on this forum (via the "View this user's content"), it always seems to be at least a day behind. This makes it rather difficult to keep track of threads I've recently posted in, especially with how high-traffic the Skyrim forums are. Right now, it is currently two days behind for me, displaying as the "latest" a post I made at about this time on the 20th. It's been like this ever since the last big update.

And yet... the new board software is quick enough to notify me when a new post has been added to a topic I was in the midst of composing a post to.

Why this contradiction in board responsiveness?

I've noticed the same, it's pretty annoying. It would be nice if it was fixed.

I kind of remedy this by checking my browser's history. No big deal to me if I can't check my own posts, but it's a lot more inconvenient when I think someone else has interesting opinions and I want to find them.

Do any moderators or admins know what's going on with it? I really do miss having up-to-date content viewing...

I don't know why it's happening, but we've reported it to admin so - hopefully - it will be fixed eventually. Clicking the 'Posts' button on your profile shows the last five, and those should be up to date at least.

As for keeping track of threads you posted in, there's a setting in the User CP to auto-follow topics you've replied to - maybe that could work as an alternative?

Basically what falchya said. It is a known problem (and if you guys think it's annoying, think how we feel. ;) )

What I find helpful for finding threads I've participated in is setting my view settings to "Topics I Replied In." With the new forum interface, it looks something like this, along the top of the thread list:


Recently Updated Start Date Most Replies Most Viewed Custom

Click Custom, and you should find the option in the first drop-down box.
