mick2me 3,033 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 View New Posts You may see some topics apearing in the list that are 4 years old. I am awaiting for a reply from IPB Support on the cause for this. Please do not reply to these for the time being (as they will then become recent) Can anyone else see these in the list? Old topics appearing after recent active topics search. Yesterday, I noticed 2 year old topics apearing in the list under 'View New Posts' (last Week) http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?sh...pic=619&hl= In the list, last post shows as Yesterday, 09:32 PM (When it was made Apr 5 2005, 10:07 PM) http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?sh...pic=102&hl= In the list last post shows as Yesterday, 09:31 PM (When it was made Feb 25 2005, 02:50 PM) What is causing this?

Limey 242 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 All the old ones I am seeing involve a poll of some sort. Also, opening them (but not replying) does not make them go away, as it would with a normal post. There are two at the moment - one regarding how the reader discovered Nottstalgia, the other regarding a Nottstalgia meet starting at the Trip. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Reply from IPB Support... Hello, The view new posts includes replies. I see that the latest reply to the first topic you mentioned was 06/17/09 at 3:32pm - so even though the topic was made in 2005, the reply is new, and so it shows on the view new posts page. Is it me or do neither of the above threads contain a post mor recent than 2004 2005? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Could a new member be plodding through our back catologue and have come across these polls and then voted in them , thus making them live with no new posts , it happenes in that topic regarding a blue plaque for "Tug Wilson" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy 1 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm glad you posted this, cos I was going to post and ask whether anyone else was seeing really old topics. I'm just pleased it wasnt my browser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think you hit it Ian There is a setting that allows a vote to bump the topic. Cheers Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
