(Forum) In the unread threads I only see threads from two days ago.

Bolly

Hi, I check the forum once a week and if I'm not mistaken in the unread threads I only see threads from two days ago. I would like not to miss things.

Is this the case?
Can it be changed in the forum options (forum administrator)?

I have been checking my user options and have not seen anything.

Thank you.

@Bolly it is not the case here. Delete cookies?

No, I don't think cookies have anything to do with it.

This is this page.

@Bolly sorry I misunderstood. I can not see what you mean because I visit the forum more often.

@Bolly Will keep an eye on this. For me till Friday I had unread going back a week. Now on top of them all.

Bolly

Hello @Lakotaubp... One week? I don't get to see more than two days.

@Bolly Mine seems the same now too unless I was looking at the wrong thing.

In case you want to delegate.
I may have the knowledge to solve it. I am a system administrator, although I don't have a lot of experience.

I have found that it is currently not possible to do so for specific users. It has to be changed for all users.

I think you have to modify the value of

"unreadCutoff" : 2,

which is in the database "Config Object".

For example 7 days:

"unreadCutoff" : 7,

Font: https://docs.nodebb.org/development/database-structure/

P.S. There may be a web interface to do that. :')

Who can I ping? Who is the forum administrators? @CiberSheep ?

Lakotaubp

@Bolly It has been passed on : )

Sorry it took a while. I set it to 7 days, is that enough?

Bolly

Thank you very much @Flohack , yes I guess for most of my possible cases it is.

@Flohack Another strange point with the UBports forum: using the Firefox android password manager (Volla OS for me), the identifier cannot be filled by the manager. Only the password can be filled in by clicking in the password box. This has been happening for some time and it's only with the forum for what I've tested. Username + password are correctly filled in for other sites.

Hi @Flohack

It works perfect.

I think 8 days is better. Sometimes I can go for a week without logging in at the same time.

For example:
Saturday morning of the previous week.
Saturday afternoon this week

Anyway, as it is, it's fine. And we always want more

@domubpkm The behavior you are seeing is probably because the autocomplete attribute of the username field has a value of 'nickname' instead of 'username' thereby causing the password manager to not recognize it as the input field for the username.

A ubports forum new bug because it worked well some time ago ?

arubislander

@domubpkm yes, possibly changed since the last forum upgrade a few months ago.
