Sarge Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I had been waiting to see if this showed up for anyone else before posting. When I check new content and get multiple pages the same threads will show up repeatedly on other pages. I am not talking about the last 2 or 3 of a page showing up at the beginning of the next page. (This has always been the case for me) I'm not even sure that's normal. As an example a post, or several posts, that shows up on page 1 sometimes shows up again on page 3 or sometimes even 3 and 4.

High Lord Gomer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) I, too, get that. I logged out, then back in. I then Marked all items as read and waited a day or two and it still happens. It seems that the first couple of posts on each page are repeats from previous pages then it resumes where it should. My VNC Method is set to Show me all content that I have not read. IE8 on Windows 7. Edited August 27, 2010 by High Lord Gomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 This is not happening for me (Safari 3.2.1), with VNC method set to show me all content since my last visit, or show me all content I have not read. Looking into it more... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It's been gping on for me as well, but as much grief as we gave brian with the VNC bug, I was just keeping it under my hat, dealing with it. Multiple computers, one with IE 8 with windows 7, 2 with IE 7 windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I see it with VNC set to "content I haven't read" but not when it's set to "new content since my last visit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I see it with VNC set to "content I haven't read" but not when it's set to "new content since my last visit." Thanks. There is a known bug with VNC with one of those settings, but I can't remember which one. I'll look into it some more. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 In searching IP's forums this afternoon, I've found a couple threads reporting that VNC works more consistently when your settings are set to view new content since last visit. So you guys getting the duplicate thread results, maybe try this: Set your setting to show me all content I have not read, then when you are ready to leave the board for the day, mark the board as read (bottom of forum page), then log out. And report back if that helped. Regardless, if it doesn't help, I'm guessing we will have to live with it. If that doesn't help, try the above series when you ready to leave the board the following day, but before marking as read and logging out, set your settings to: view new content since last visit. And see if that makes any difference. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Same deal for me - same topic listed on multiple pages. Also, I can see other folks new content posts, but mine take a while to pop-up. As an example - I submitted a post at 6:22PM and it still hasn't come up when I hit VNC; but other peoples posts submitted later are coming up.

I thought this was what was happening to me, when I posted a message last night -- it used to show up as the most recent thing under VNP. I thought it was not updating, until I found my post on page 6 - where the last topic on the thread was when I composed a reply - instead of moving my new reply to the front of the VNP list, it added it, but where the previous post occurred (?)

D.Hayden Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Also, I can see other folks new content posts, but mine take a while to pop-up. As an example - I submitted a post at 6:22PM and it still hasn't come up when I hit VNC; but other peoples posts submitted later are coming up. I think this is because of the setting: Show me all content I have not read (you just read that thread so it removes it) so I switched to: Show me all new content since last visit I don't see how it can be a client side issue. Since the same items are shown multiple times. I tool some screen shots of this this morning. The posts on page one are the same as page 3. It just seems like the server is reading the times wrong and adding pages twice. well.. at least that's what it looks like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I have a ticket open with IP on this. On this: Same deal for me - same topic listed on multiple pages. Also, I can see other folks new content posts, but mine take a while to pop-up. As an example - I submitted a post at 6:22PM and it still hasn't come up when I hit VNC; but other peoples posts submitted later are coming up.

Linda Chico (L-2035) Columbia SC ... this is a different topic. Doing a log out has been fixing this. So please try a log out. That's returned VNC consistency for everyone except those stuck in IE 7. A couple things. Usually new posts get updated in VNC right away. But sometimes they do take a bit. I'm not sure if I can do anything about that. With new Topics, they may take up to 15 minutes to appear in VNC. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) With my setting of "Show me all content I have not read" I marked everything as read then logged out. While I was logged out I hit the VNC link which takes you to all content active in the last 24 hours. It missed all of the posts in the last 2 or 3 hours AND it still exhibited the behavior of repeating some posts at the top of each page. I just did some screenshots in case they will help: First page lists posts from 08:43 am back to 06:55 am http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_1a.jpg http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_1b.jpg The second page erroneously contains the top 2 posts them resumes with posts from 06:55 and earlier. Page 2 ends with a post from 01:07 am http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_2a.jpg http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_2b.jpg The third page erroneously contains the top 7 posts shown then resumes with posts from before 01:07 am http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_3a.jpg http://themxtrack.com/BE/AC_3b.jpg Edited August 29, 2010 by High Lord Gomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Acting up again. Safari 5.01. Logged out and in. Posts getting put on page 3 instead page 1. TIme is correct but earlier posts are ahead.

Sarge Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Forgot to say I always keep VNC on posts since last visit. Very strange, yesterday it was working perfect and I thought maybe it had been fixed. Then today it posted the same threads 3 times on various pages. Also once today I clicked on VNC to get back to the list and got the no new content found message. I tried it two more times and all at once it came back.

benos Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Kevin. Until I can get something from IP on this, I swtched the search method back to Traditional for now. So anyone who was getting duplicate threads, please post if the switch helped. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Working perfect. All times in order, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Anyone else? No more duplicate threads with Traditional search? I'm guessing the lack of posts means no more duplicates. I need to know because I'm not giving up on Sphinx, yet. Searches done with Sphinx are 90% more accurate than Traditional searches, for a forum of this size. And we all want the search engine to be our friend. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've seen no duplicate posts today using the "traditional". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranDoc Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've been getting the duplicate/multiple posts ... until today. (Firefox 3.6.8 on Mac OS X 10.5.8). I always "deleted cookies" on every sign out, then hit VNC when I returned. Looks "fixed" today. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I had good luck with VNC and searching today. Was looking for 38special loads in various forums that made minor PF. Found good info with whatever I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 No problems with Traditional. I do hope you can get Sphinx to work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 At this point I'm thinking a couple things. If the only problem with VNC/Sphinx is that it gets a few duplicate threads - after you have logged out - and a search with Sphinx is approx. 90% more accurate than a Traditional search, lets just leave it to Sphinx and just ignore the duplicate threads. I know it's not perfect but having the search engine work with Sphinx is very important for a searching a database as large as ours. And it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to overlook a few duplicate results. And to mention again, from the Search / Sphinx thread, it appeared that logging out fixed the inconsistent results bug with Sphinx for everyone. So after I set it back to Sphinx, if you don't think VNC is returning accurate results, please include in your post that you logged, and logged back in before testing it. I'm going to close this thread, and copy this post into a new topic. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
