Who broke our first new post icons?

Krylo · 10-16-2010, 10:42 PM

That little box with the arrow thing before threads with new posts that you click on to go to the first new post?

It's not showing up anymore.

Who broke it?

That one?
I still see it for threads I haven't yet read. Perhaps it just didn't load for you/needs a refresh?

Krylo · 10-16-2010, 11:23 PM

Hmm... It's working now.

But I spent five minutes hopping around hitting CTRL-F5 and it wouldn't work.

You must have caught it on its break. Union requires them, of course.

I am bumping this thread to see if it's just on my end or if others might be having a similar experience.

The new post icon (

) mentioned above is fine for me. However the atom-ish icon (

) next to the name of the last person who posted, which should take me to their post/the last post in the thread, doesn't work. The URL listed when I click and load that link appears to be formatted to note that I am meant to go to the last post, but instead it just loads the thread.

For example, if I click the GENERAL NPF PERSONAL PROBLEM help thread, which currently has a post by Token at the end, I get the following URL:

http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=40226 (The "?goto=lastpost" should signify to the PHP code that renders the page that it should deliver the last post.)

Clicking it just loads the thread with POS's opening post as the focus, as if I had just clicked the regular thread link itself.

If it's worth mentioning, I jumped on-board the ability to increase the posts per page to the current maximum. I do not recall if this is when it stopped functioning correctly for me or not, but it is a possibility -- especially if whatever block of code that deals with the "lastpost" argument passed doesn't like the higher number of posts per page. But that's just one idea, and it's only a valid idea if others are also not able to use the link.

I'm seeing it fine. Hard refreshed to make sure it wasn't just in my history, too.

Edit: going where it's supposed to as well.

You broke it and was trying to frame someone else for it, didn't you?

Krylo · 10-23-2011, 04:16 PM

After some more messing around it appears it doesn't work on larger threads, but does on smaller threads. Regardless of the number of posts per page.

80 posts per page, Liz's blingee thread, works fine. Forum default (10 posts), making Liz's thread 2 pages. Still works fine.

80 posts per page, pretty much any other thread (smallest I checked had 27 posts) and it failed to work. Forum Default, and the same thing happened.

Yeah, I have since poked around. For example, it's fine on this thread so far. Hmm.

Interesting Internet Crap or whatever also seems to be working with it, but that's a larger thread. Hmm.

E ALSO for below: haha I know, it was like "Oh, man, someone is complaining about the site? Time for a database failure."
