 Having problems with this forum
Post New Topic  Post Reply 
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I could not find any site feedback/support forum, and my question relates directly to the .NET forum.

Where are all the posts? The top page says there are 28,000+ posts here, but I only see about 15 threads or so. Also, there was a thread that I responded to about 2 or 3 hours ago that I now cannot find. Yesterday, I actually came into this forum, and saw a full page of threads and more pages for just a moment until the page "popped" back into this shortened version I am seeing. Is anyone else seeing this, or is it something on my end (that would be really strange)?

EDIT: Every other forum on gamedev.net I go to seems to be displaying properly with tons of posts on hundreds of pages.

At the top of the list is a drop-down which probably says "Show topics from the last 20 days". Change that to "Show all topics" and click Go, and that should fix you up :-)

Also, if you replied to a topic not that long ago, check the "Active Topics" list (there's a link at the top of the page) that'll list all topics from all forums - it's possible the topic was moved to a different forum, or something like that. Another alternative is to click on your own name in this post and you can see a list of all topics you recently replied to.

Click on Board Settings in your Control Panel.
* Change "Default Topic View" to "Show topics from last 2000 days".
* Change "Number of Topics Per Page" to "Show 100 per page"
* Change "Number of Replies Per Page" to "Show 50 replies per page"
* Change "Rating Threshold" to "0"

Of course, you can customize the specific values as you desire based on your internet connections.

Make sure to force refresh any GameDev pages (ctrl + F5 on most browsers) to clear the cache and reload them using the new settings. You should be able to see everything then. You will have to occasionally force refresh on Active Topics because settings are not kept on regular reloads. Likewise if you are in a thread, sometimes it won't display as per your settings so just force refresh.

Wow, I feel like an idiot lol. I didn't even think about the fact that maybe this forum was slower than the other ones I read. Thanks!

Also, the forum you were looking for for this thread is called "GDNet Comments, Suggestions and Ideas," (it's down closer to the bottom of the forum list) I'm moving you there now.
