Site changes

Still wish that the ignore feature would come back. I am sure others would love that, too, since the Current Events forum has been opened up.

might have not been a good idea, the average active user count has dropped 10% and that if I remember correctly this is a 30 day rolling count so most likely after the is shut down is rolled in the active user count will drop into the mid 3,000 or less… it was near 5,000 before the opening of a Current Events forum

I have noticed multiple posters being missing,

currently (this morning June 11th)

Active Members: 4,078

well make that now (around 11:30am)

Active Members: 4,057

was not aware it must be reset hourly as now the count is down to (5:15pm)

Active Members: 4,048

by 6:47 pm

Active Members: 4,044

24 hours after first post

Active Members: 4,027

and by 6:30PM June 12th

Active Members: 3,996

June 17th 2:00PM

Active Members: 3,799

June 22 at 7am down to

Active Members: 3,557

went below 3500 June 24 10am

Active Members: 3,476

4pm June 24

Active Members: 3,454

I’ve asked that they check to see if there’s any new information on making the feature work.

question regarding user profile… a poster who just posted on a thread, I click on user profile to see what else they have posted and all I see is

No activity results to display

which I know is not true since they have just posted on a thread

Is there a way to conceal a poster’s activity?

The ‘Ignore’ is there today, it’s called, don’t read the forum or topic :slight_smile:

Here’s the latest on the ignore bug:

And a recent post about it:

An older one:

And older still, 2015:

https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vbulletin-5-connect/vbulletin-5-connect-questions-problems-troubleshooting/vbulletin-5-support-issues-questions/4320846-ignore-user-not-working

Short answer on that…um, not likely any time soon :frowning: It’s frustrating that the guru guy there from vbulletin doesn’t seem to recall that this is a long standing thing and it’s been broken forever.

might be because their ignore function works:lol:

It is working … for him!

He doesn’t need an ignore button, can ignore fine without one.

Seriously, they all deserve thanks.
Running down buggy programs is for saints.
Normal humans would end up in a straight jacket.

I am usually interested in people’s locations too.

not all are orange… go to post #21MattZZZ12… the bar is white

https://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/f…ts-all-no-kill

Yeah, I think it’s supposed to be a “karma” type thing. That poster has very few posts. People who have been here awhile have full bars.

Guessing there’s a setting based on post count/likes/some other metric where you can see someone’s “influence.” People with more likes/posts/whatever have fuller bars.

Betcha it’s just not set up and something that will eventually go away since this isn’t really that sort of place 🤷”â™€ï¸

Where is “Today’s Posts”?

might be “Latest Posts” ? … I never used “Today’s Posts” so really have no point of reference but there are two ways to query for new posts… from the over all index or by forum specific

general index then click on Latest Posts that will have all in descending order, forum specific clicking on Latest Posts will just have the new posts to that forum

I’ve suggested the removal of the reputation bar (as well as the FB share and Twitter tweet buttons), and have requested the Today’s Post query, poster locations and OP designation be returned when they get to that point in the process.

Is there a way to present “Today’s Posts” so when you click on it you only get posts that are horse related? I have never come to COTH to read current events or the “off topic” posts. I would prefer not to wade through all that to get to the posts that I come to COTH to read and that is HORSES!

I have always appreciated COTH being the one place I could go to where I didn’t get stuff that I could otherwise see on the news. One can get current events etc. on other social media sites. I just don’t understand why it was added here.

Will this change?

Seems that many like that “today’s posts” tab as is?

If you enter thru the “forum” tab right after the “home” tab, you can see the forums and which ones have new posts without being irritated by those you don’t like when clicking on the “today’s posts” tab.
I do that, not because of something I may not like to see in the “today’s post” tab, but the “forum” tab seems faster to get around for me.

A little bit of everything for everyone.

Have there been any posts where people are saying they like the current events and off topic listed in the today’s posts?

I have been using the Today’s post tab here for years (way too many) and even Mod 1 says that the list previously excluded all sections of Off Topic. It is a change that is on the list (or that is how I read the posts) of rationalizations still waiting to happen.

Having to go thru every forum to see the new posts takes more time (when today’s posts is working correctly).

I don’t have a dog in that fight, whatever is chosen will be fine and all will adapt, is the way things work out.

Thanks for giving your opinion, as a user of that tab, it carries much weight.

just a note, many of the dogs have left as the Active Members count is now down to 3,754 (noon June 18th)

over one thousand have not returned… Active Members: 3,678 as of June 20th 8am

Hi @Moderator1 -
Wondering if we will get the quick links to change from one forum to another back? (It used to be on the bottom right hand side of the page across from the “Go to” drop down.) I think it was called “Jump to”
I really miss that feature!

Thanks for getting the site back up and running! It is looking great!
