Judson Yaggy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Seem like every now and then a new post pops up in this sub forum, then pretty quickly it goes away. They don't seem to get moved somewhere else, just disappear. Right now no matter how often I look at or refresh this forum, the only topics listed are the two pinned ones. I read IFI often enough to know that every now and then something gets posted here, but to my eye this is an all but empty sub forum. Any one else see the same thing?

Glenn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Check to be sure your time filter is set to view all. The posts are there, you ask the soft wear to only show you posts from the last _______ days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Glenn - the site shows 60 some posts in the "tool's" but when you click on the sub forum "tools/id/pic reference" there do not show up - partially broken link maybe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 mine was showing the same, and I thought I had adjusted the filter correctly to catch 'all', but there are two fields that need to be set to 'all', not just the first one. I don't know why this one wasn't set that way by default, or how it got tweaked, but I have often wondered about where have all the tool threads gone too! on the plus side, now I/you/we just discovered another 60 threads of reading material :D edit: don't be like me and forget to check the 'remember filter' box, otherwise you will have to reset the filter again the next time you come back to the sub-forum.

jeremy k Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep that is it - Thanks for the screen shot Chinobi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Click on the word custom in the blue bar, Then select your choice of filters, click remember filters, and the old posts should be shown. This can be done for any section of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 At the absolute top of my page is a black then light blue then dark blue strip. Below the advertisement and white topic heading is a dark blue strip with only the words "5 replies to this topic" no pull down menus. I've asked about this before, and the odd thing is that this is the only (I think) forum with this oddity. Mac thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ok, just went and looked at other forums. Some have options in that lower blue bar, some don't. Seems to be forums with sub forums that don't show the pull down options. No big deal to me, could be user error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Judson - in the picture Glenn posted - the blue bar that is above the 2 pinned threads - it's on that blue barhttp://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/84-tools-id-and-pictoral-reference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ok, got it, perhaps I'm dumb. But why only this sub forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 select "show all" then check the box "remember filters" before you click "update filters" tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes sir, did that, thank you for you patience. Currently red in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Honoestly for some odd reason this subsection has an issue with resetting the "view page options" screen to only show todays posts, and not all of them, I have had to reset this for me many times. So in short, it is NOT just you having issues in this sub section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I thought this forum was a bit light on posts. Thanks, I didn't know about the filter, now I have more reading to do : ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yep that is it - Thanks for the screen shot Chinobi No problem Jeremy. Steve, perhaps it would be worth a pinned topic or a banner or something to alert people to that particular bug? shame to have such a useful subsection get largely overlooked because nobody realizes its there.

Judson Yaggy Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Having this thread pinned given the new forum software now seems unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Evans Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 With the new software the tools forum has again decided that I don't want to see the posts…where is the custom button to save the settings now?Nothing on the header bar that I can see...Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Running Chrome at both work and home---at work on a windows box I get a "mark all read" selection at the top of the page at home on a Kubuntu box I don't have that option (and miss it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Evans Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I am on a MacBook with Safari 6.1.6I have a "mark all read" on here. But for some reason the buttons for custom visibility that used to be here have disappeared themselves...This is the general forum list I get which states "no posts here yet" when obviously there are…this one for a start.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 4 years and half a dozen software upgrades ago, perhaps it's time to unpin this thread and let it fade away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
