I have noticed over time that certain threads don’t seem to appear in Today’s Topics, or sometimes that it is not sorted correctly. Usually it’s a transient problem so I haven’t mentioned it. However, for example, the Glefke/Farmer thread in Hunter Jumper has not appeared in Today’s Topics for three days as far as I’ve noticed, not even when I’ve posted on it recently. It seems to me that right now it should be the #2 in that list looking at the times of others on the list.
They know about this. I have been telling them since the switch over. Hopefully another person pointing it out will at least get us a reason why and hopefully a fix.
I will send another gentle prod.
Don’t know if it’s related (as I don’t use the Today’s Topics feature) but often when I look at the page with all the forums listed and notice the topic with the most recent reply, click on the forum and that isn’t the topic at the top of the list, it’s the second one in the list.
If this happened occasionally I’d be thinking that a new reply was posted in between when the forum list was built and I clicked on the forum but not so sure that is the case.
Felt strange to me but overall nothing big (other than interesting).
To add to the information that I supplied way back when (in an email) about this issue.
When I open this forum I typically have notifications at the top (that someone quoted me or tagged me).
I leave them there and start reading the forum, expecting I will just come across them anyway.
Two days in a row, I have scanned thru all the pages that come up in Today’s Topics and read Off Topic and still not cleared those notifications. When I go to the notifications they tell me about a thread that did not show in Today’s Topics. And active thread, so there is no reason it would not show up in Today’s Topics (even out of order).
