Yesterday when I opened the board the icons indicating that new posts were made were indicating that new stuff was available. This morning the indicators did not show the new posts even though posts I had not read were available.

peace, don

Well... I clicked on the Open Theism Discussion Board link at the top of the page and the icons now indicate the new posts. The first time I had entered the page from the link on the main O-T-B.org link to the beta.

When in doubt, refresh your page. I think you were probably viewing a cached version of the page.

I've yet to be able to get a response from "View Active Threads." I wait and wait, finally give up, and then just wander check out a few things on the main forum.

I can't reproduce this problem. Is it consistently like this for you?

You talking about pulling up active topics or the problem of evil itself? ;o)

I finally did get the active topics to come up. But it took forever. There were 150 new posts on 9 threads (in just three days)! Hmm.

Well, I then logged out, waited a minute, and logged right back on to see if the active threads would reset from my last logged on session. It didn't. There were now 159 new posts in 10 new threads in the last 3 days. I refreshed the page and all. Same thing.

Oh well.

Let me clarify...

OK, so now many posts on how many threads were posted over the last three days has nothing to do with "active threads." I misunderstood that.

Still, I've logged on and off several times now. Rebooted and all. Each time I log in and click "View Active Threads" I wait 5 minutes and finally get a list of threads going back to June 2003 (I think), a huuuuuge list including archived threads. Everything comes up...each time I try it. So something is defintinvely wrong.

Anybody else have this problem?

It works fine for me.

Have you ever run "Mark All Forums Read"?

Yeah, I guess I missed that in the initial setup. It's blank until I would provide a set of images... which I don't have, unless y'all want to share picture of my kids as your avatars!

If somebody would like to provide some images, I'll go with it. I think heard Smurfette being requested...

Hi Corey,

Maybe the default should be set to "all read" for new users.

Yeah, I agree with this idea. Or at least only go back a short amount of time. Either way, though, I'll have to do some custom programming, and it could be a few weeks until I would get this done.

I spent my Friday evening re-writing the search engine (it's what geeks do for fun!) Anyway, I think it's pretty much working as advertised now. Give it try (again) and let me know how it goes for you.

For example, you can now search now for "Threefold Structure" over any time period (47000+ messages!) in only about a second or two.

The new board looks great! I'd like to know more about the "safe haven" for open theists...for invited members only? How do you get to be invited?

Wondering...

God Bless,

Hi Corey,

I tried out the search engine and it works great and is very fast! I just have one question/request which I don't know if this would be feasible...

Is there any way we can also have another field added into the search: a time frame window (eg, so we can do a search of all posts from, say, 3/5/02 to 12/11/03, or even just month/year format -->03/02 to 12/03)? Otherwise, on very popular discussion issues, even if we restrict our search to a specific forum, it's very difficult to do searches that would produce results from over a year ago. Otherwise, the search seems to work really well!
