"Zero Reply Posts" bug

Hey,

Clicking on Zero Reply Posts does one of the following (seemingly at random):

1. Takes me to "Search New Posts"
2. Takes me to "Zero Reply Posts" but the "Search New Posts" is shown as selected.
3. Does nothing.

Any ideas why? Is it just me?

EDIT: It's because of the 20 second limit on searches. Can this be turned off for 0 posts? Or maybe taken to a different screen?
 
Hi,
I don't get that behavior (except that when clicking zero reply posts the "search new posts" tab is selected -- but the result set is for posts with at most zero replies). Doesn't seem to be affected in any way by 20 second time limits that I can see.

Can you double check what you are doing when you get this behavior?

Hi xenou,

Replicated:

Click on "Zero Reply Posts" (Works).
Click on "Search New Posts".
Click on "Zero Reply Posts" (20 second limit).

This means you get a message from the board that you can't search, right?

Okay. I can't view photobucket images at work so I'll take a look tonight.

I can't use anything other than photobucket at my work!
 
As you can see:

1. I've clicked on Zero Posts and "Search New Posts" is selected.
2. There are 2 threads that have posts.
I noticed this too last week. It has been brought to the Administrators attention.

It appears that what it is doing is that the first time run it, it builds the list, and everything looks as it should be. But then, if you run the search again in the same session, it seems to keep the same list of threads from the original thread, but updates the post counts.

It looks to me, that maybe the way this new search works is that your cookies/cache need to cleared out to generate a new list. I haven't had the time to really play around with it to figure out in what situations it gets totally rebuilt.
 
Ok. Thanks Joe
@James - thanks too. Stay tuned for further developments.
