I had the same problem yesterday and now it's back.

I am reading page two of "latest posts", but when I click on page one or latest post function it takes me
back to page two. I can see pages after page two, but not page one.

Edit ...... it's working ok now.

Red pilled fake news statist bots have gunked up the system again.

Ok i see, you guys are right, the joomla update messed up that pagination too not just the threads.

I think when you press page one it actually takes you to page one but it displays the 2 box highlighted as though youre on page 2.

Page 1's url is always this

truth-zone.net/forum/latest-posts.html

Page 2 is always this , it has the ?start=40 tacked on the end... (each latest posts page has 40 posts on it)

truth-zone.net/forum/latest-posts.html?start=40

Page 3 is always this

truth-zone.net/forum/latest-posts.html?start=80

Page 4 ...

truth-zone.net/forum/latest-posts.html?start=120

and so on, the number on the end goes up by 40 every time. If the url is just this truth-zone.net/forum/latest-posts.html then you are on page 1 regardless of what the pagination display indicates.

The joomla update has messed up the pagination and it isnt the first time, its happened in the past on occasion, they will release another update that fixes it im sure, in the meantime i will try contact them so they know incase others havent already told them.

I use the "Recent posts" but there the problem is bigger. It stays on page 2, even though the page name is truth-zone.net/forum/recent.html (no suffices)... There was no way to go back to page 1 using Recent posts, I can however see them with Latest posts.

Thanks Gaia and others for the feedback... ive tweaked its behaviour , hopefully its ok now?

Regards.

Yup, thanks!

Just a small favour id like to ask some of you.

Our email system is getting clogged because of emails bouncing back after being sent out to inform of category and thread subscriptions. Our hosts arent happy and it also slows the site down.

A number of you are subscribed to categories and threads, but your emails are bouncing back.. either they dont work anymore or perhaps jammed full beyond the allowed limits.

Whatever the case may be, if you guys could either ensure the email you are registered with is functional IF you want to subscribe to stuff.. .OR else just unsubscribe to everything and dont subscribe to stuff if your email isnt working / old whatever. You can use 'favourites' instead to bookmark things.. subscriptions are different here in that they send out emails to you, favourites dont.

Go here to unsubscribe > truth-zone.net/forum/subscribed.html

Go here to edit/update email > truth-zone.net/forum/profile/edit.html

Im going to have to unsubscribe some people from categories and topics to fix the clog, but it will happen again if you guys keep subscribing and your emails dont work.

Thanks.

Just reporting the fact that the post preview facility isn't working for me when I type in a post. I'll click submit and see if this posts.

Post has uploaded.....Is anyone else finding the Preview window isn't working?

Yep doesnt work for me either, one of the updates mustve fkt it up.

Will try fix...

It should work now, thanks for letting me know.

Same problem as before; "Message successfully posted", I see it in the list of recent posts but when clicking the post doesn't show up. Removing the # for the post number doesn't help. Windows, Chrome.

Strangely this post shows up, but my earlier one didn't.

I had the same problem on the same thread a couple of nights ago.

When I posted a new comment the next day, both the missing comment and new comment appeared.

Sometimes when people post then delete posts it can throw the forum display off , i press a synch button in admin to fix that, its part of a forum maintenance toolbox.

So hopefully its sorted now. It worse on long threads if multiple posts are deleted after people post em, so sometimes the issue shows up in some threads more than others.

Let me know if there are problems again and if its just specific threads or widespread, thanks for the feedback.

My fault again, sorry folks, being scatterbrained again.

The funds to pay the months bill werent transferred into the hosting account, done that now.
