Forum question...

[Glider]

When I visit the forum I prefer to log in, then using the quick Links button bring up Todays posts and find what I feel are interesting topics, open and read them.

The problem I have is that before I can get through all of the interesting threads in the pages of todays posts, the screne seems to time out or give an error that makes me start all over.

Is there something computer setting wise that will allow me to scan through all of the todays posts pages at leasure?

I'm aware of this issue - it's not just your computer. I'm afraid I don't have a fix at hand, but will look into it.

Glider, I was having the same problem. To get around it, I click through all the pages 1, 2, 3, etc to the end and start reading at the last page. Use the back button on your browser to move to each preceeding page.

Usually once it happend then I also go to the last page and work my way foward cause with folks postin I figure there's more in the front that I have yet to read... Make sense?

I have had this happen a couple times working backwards as well. Mabey I should just start on Pg 27 every time??

I have noticed this bug as well. Often I'll get to the 3rd page, try to hit the next button, and get a "no 3-letter searches allowed" error, which is clearly erroneous. It's almost as if there is a timeout on searches. The database must not be holding search results open beyond a specific amount of time, or it's just randomly dropping the ball.

What length of time are we talking about here - how long do the search results stick around?

I always surf via "new posts" and have taken up to 45 minutes getting through it all.

My gripe is the 27 page limit. I can leave for 12 hours and have 27 pages.... or be gone a weekend and still have 27 pages.

What about the rest of you guys - how much time elapses between when you click on "today's posts", and the error?

I browse talkbass through new post also..
I never had any problem.
James talk about a maximum of 27 pages...I will look into that.

the next day after I posted, I was 3 pages into an 18 page "new posts" when they all turned unbolded. Since then it's been normal though
