Hello. I am having a weird problem. I subscribe to my whold board, so I get emails whenever a new post is made. I will click the link, and it will take me to the post. However, when I go back to default.asp, the statistics section does not reflect the new post that was made. It also says that there are no active topics. I have to go into admin options and update the forum counts for the changes to take effect. Then when you look at the statistics section, it shows the right person and time of the last post, but when you click the time, it takes you to the wrong post (may not even be by the same person).
Does anyone know what is going on??? Thanks |

| Applied any MOD's lately ? .. you could have a crook cookie which would effect active topics, try logging out, clearing cookies, restarting browser and see if that changes anything. Also have you done a force refresh of your page to make sure your not just seeing a cached copy ? |

| OK. I tried that, and it did not work. I just switched from one host to Kiwi hosting...I was having this (along with other) problems with the other host as well. |

| OK. I think that I just figured it out. When I changed hosting companies, I forgot to change the server Date/Time in Admin options. It was off by -1 hour (actual time: 12:00, forum showed 11:00). I changed that to 0, and the time is now correct. Hopefully this will fix my problems. |

I just figured out (got an email about a new post) that the last post link is still not updating correctly. It does update correctly when I make a post, but not when my members make posts. Any sugestions?
Also, I took Gremlin's advice and cleared cookies. No change.
***EDIT***
Even when I update forum count, the statistics change to the correct time and person of the last post, but the link goes to my (BigPig) last post. |

I believe that it was happening on the old server. I had multiple problems with them. But, it is still happening on the new server. I looked at my default.asp page and a default.asp page from the Snitz basecode. The function that shows (Function DoLastPostLink(showicon) the the last post is the same on both. The only differences are from the poll mod.
Just to summarize, when I post a new topic (or reply), the statistic show up correctly and it shows up in active topics. When one of my members does the same, I get an email saying that there is a new post, I can click on the link in the email to go to it, but it does not show up in statistics or active topics until I update forum counts. When forum counts are updated, the correct time and person show up in statistics, but the link goes to my lat post. |

| The 2 MODS that I added that affected the post_info.asp file are: Poll MOD, and Split Topic MOD. What can I look for? I have downloaded a fresh copy of the forum files, so if I know what is supposed to be there, then I can get it out of the file. Thanks for all of your help. |

| Please post a text version of your post_info.asp file. I know neither mod, but I can make a quick comparison and try to find out whether the differences are responsible for this behaviour. |

I had a look at this, couldn't find a reason for what's happening with you. It's hard to do it without being able to "set" breakpoints, look at the DB and such, since my analysis of the code gave nothing.
I would suggest that you try using a test account and unchanged versions of default.asp and post_info.asp. If the problem does go away, then you can add the changes in each of the existing files to the unchanged versions, one at file at a time, so that the problem is delimited with more precision. |

OK. I put a fresh from the download copy of default.asp and post_info.asp on the site. I created a test account and posted a message. It showed correctly logged in as both test and the admin account. I then added the poll mod back. It still worked. Next, I added split topic MOD. Worked. I then added some little custom things that I have back, and it still worked. So I do not know what the problem was. Just to make sure, can you log in to my forum (test/test), and post something? I want to make sure that it is correct when a different person posts from a different machine and I am not just seeing this work because I am at the same machine. Thanks.

Seems it's working... I posted a topic and a reply and default.asp behaved nicely.
It would be interesting to know what was causing this. If you want to know what was causing it, use Beyond Compare to compare your current files with the two previous ones. If you want to post links to text versions of the current ones, I can do that as well. |
