Where is the Find New Posts function?

blwnhr · 05-04-2008, 05:57 PM

I use this all the time. Search bar at the top -> Find new posts. It's gone

Browser Firefox, OS Windows.

Ole · 05-04-2008, 06:08 PM

It's under Quicklinks - New Posts

blwnhr · 05-04-2008, 06:29 PM

Nope, under Quick Links is Todays Posts, Mark Forums Read, Open Contacts Popup.

Adam · 05-04-2008, 06:35 PM

On the simple skin, the new posts link is right beside the search link.

Where?

This is what I see in the Quicklinks menu:

It used to be here in the Search menu:

Adam · 05-04-2008, 08:11 PM

That's very interesting- if you check out the news announcement where I posted some of my own screenshots, the two menus look much different, and I hadn't noticed any conditionals surrounding the New Posts link. I made a small cange that might have fixed the problem, though- can you see the link now?

blwnhr · 05-04-2008, 08:30 PM

Nope, no luck.

Adam · 05-04-2008, 09:50 PM

Try one more time- I got rid of another conditional. Does it work for you in the other 2 skins (classic & simple)?

blwnhr · 05-04-2008, 11:36 PM

No go for all skins.

On a side note, the Modern Red looks quite nice.

pop4 · 05-05-2008, 05:13 AM

I get the same Quicklinks and Search menus as blwnhr; no "New Posts" to be found.

However, if you really like to search for New Posts like I do, you can go to the Welcome to PentaxForums.com- The internet's first full-scale Pentax community and forum! main site, and you're logged in, you can still see it.

I just tried creating a separate test account, and I cannot replicate this error. If you'd like to have me look into this further, please PM me your passwords and I'll check your individual accounts.

pixelpruner · 05-05-2008, 01:58 PM

I have the same problem. it's certainly a result of the upgrade.

Adam · 05-05-2008, 02:03 PM

Ok- I've now discovered that the source of this error is Firefox. The problem does not occur in IE.

I'll do my best to find and fix what's causing this.

Adam · 05-05-2008, 02:16 PM

The problem's now fixed. It turns out the navbars are being pulled from not one, but two templates in vB 3.7.
