Hi there - long time lurker, first time poster.

Something I have seen elsewhere, but I haven't noticed here, is the ability to list the most current posts all on one page (regardless of forum).  This allows you to do all your browsing from one page instead of having to visit each of the forums.

If I missed this function, my apologies.  Otherwise, would love to see this.

And so the madness begins...

And somehow, over 18,000 posts later, we still don't have this function.

Jay once made a bet that the new forum software (this) would be out before the X0 project - and I believe this was after Laserman had disappeared.

Just to put into perspective how long these updates take. :P

Bump!

Has it been updated yet?

Oh hey, this thread contains my first post!

Also, bump.

This bump made me especially sad.

I didn’t forget, this feature would be great for late-night lurkers such as myself.

if only there was a
https://originaltrilogy.com/posts page, that functioned exactly like https://originaltrilogy.com/subscriptions, but it simply removed the ‘subscriptions’ filter, and instead showed everything.

and if only there was a way to view all the threads i have created, and that others have created. it seems dumb that my profile page doesn’t give me a way to find threads i created.

If Only…
A poem

If only the posts page were as “simple” as removing the subscriptions filter, and not a matter of creating completely new controllers, models, and views, designing a caching strategy so the database isn’t completely overwhelmed, writing a security model to make sure your private topics and posts don’t end up in a public space, and then testing it all across a myriad of devices and browsers

If only someone had thought of all this before, and desperately wanted to do it, but, you know, priorities, and life, and other stuff happened

If only everything we use had everything we wanted all at once, because nothing that exists took any time or effort to create

If only everything we desired were waiting for us in the exact moment we needed and wanted it

If only life were Amazon

If only

I’m going to ponder this philosophy further instead of writing code today.

I’ll live without it. I’ve been using this site for nine years without it. It’s fine.

With that said, it’s a feature on literally every other forum I’ve ever used, and I asked for it nine years ago. Which is to say I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request at all.

I agree. It’s not unreasonable, and it’s planned for the next major update.

Incidentally I went looking for my first post and there’s a weird thing happening where a bunch of my post history pages at the end are blank. Example:

https://originaltrilogy.com/user/TVs-Frink/id/6930/page/2999

There’s a bug in the pagination that determines page count based on your total number of posts (including those in private topics), even though posts in private topics aren’t displayed within your profile.

Posts in private topics aren’t displayed? I swear I had seen some new users that show like 12 posts even though their post record only shows one.

If that’s true I could be over like 100,000 posts…I have no reaction to this news.

That’s been that way as long as I’ve been a member here. The pagination is based off of your total post count which includes private posts.

Agreed but I should have mentioned that it seems to have gotten much worse. I could have sworn it just happened to the last page of everyone’s history.

They are counted but not displayed I think.
