LOL. Weird stuff still going on. One person sees one thing, others see another.

I should be installing the new "Like" feature this weekend so we'll start this mess all over again next week.

Has the interval for the inactivity timeout been changed. I used to be able to go 15 - 20 minutes and still be logged in. Now I often don't have time to complete a post after logging in before I need to log in again.

I haven't seen anybody else complain about this one so it may be on my end -- proxy server stripping off cookies or something.

P.S. After posting this, it went back to the oldest page first, but the edit went to this post.

Time out has always been 60 minutes, and like userque, I usually stay logged in. But I have also been logged out here and there the last few days. Could be the servers rebooting, but it has been a day or two since I did one.

Not sure what's up, but all I get is a blank screen when I try to access the Forum through the menu bar at the top of TSTalk Home page. Only way I've found in is via "latest posts" on the home page. I'm using Firefox ... will give IE a try.

Nope. IE didn't work either. Got a window that said web page not responding. Got here via "latest post" on home page and then selecting "New Posts" on lower menu bar above.

Checking things out using Firefox. Clicking on the links under "Latest Post" it takes me to the very last page not the most recent post. If I go to the "TSP Talk Forums" area and choose a specific thread I am taken to the first page or the most recent post in that thread. However, if I post a reply to that thread it is accepted but I am redirected to the last page of the thread.

Ah, maybe I did get hit by a rebooting server. It isn't happening today.

I tried Khotso's path to here (homepage menu bar to forum) and had no problems. It's strange that different people are seeing different things.

When I click to open an account talk and I've tried several with the same results, sometimes it goes to the oldest page and sometimes it goes to 5 or 6 pages before the oldest page. However, it never goes to the newest post on that account talk.

Tom please get this feature fixed ASAP. For a moment today, I thought my premium service was issuing a signal change until I realized I was looking at the oldest page. That could have been a disaster and a waste of a precious IFT...

I've noticed that one for a long, long time and unfortunately I don't think that one will ever be fixed. I base that on how it calculates posts and threads, etc., and any time there is a deleted or moved post it would be affected. There are scripts that run a couple of times a month that is suppose to readjust, but I haven't seen it help 100% of the time.

All I would suggest is I wouldn't rely 100% on the forum for your signals. Use the email alerts and premium reports.

i was having the same problem with the oldest post coming up first when clicking on a thread too, so i went in to check my setting and sure enough it is still set to show newest posts first. so i tried a little reverse psychology on server gremlin and told it show me oldest first and now it is showing me the newest posts first, so there. obviously the artificial intelligence behind this server is a female.

Settings>General Settings>Thread Display Mode>Linear-Oldest First

unfortunately, it appears that i am not able to update my signature line, i have tried several times. is anybody else having this issue?
