Unreaded posts removement ...

Post by georgy »

I have had this issue already a few times ...

When I didn't log in here for a certain time, the forum tells me that it removed unreaded posts ... (when there are over 500 unreaded posts - it said 539 unreaded posts removed - but not from last 7 days)

Well, in my case it is kinda annoying because I like to read like all "unread posts / unread topics" in the english section ...
So I think I will miss some stuff here now, because I probably waited too long to log in again to this hqtm forum - and I don't have time to visit here all day/hour etc (busy school stuff)

Is there any solution to fix / remove this limit for me ? (probably not :roll:)
Off course you team added this future with a purpose, I don't doubt on that :)

One of the forum features and I don't see any reason to save information about unread posts for people who don't login for 2 years.

but database space for someone whos gone 2 hours, 2 days or 2 years is the same, so you don't really need to worry about it :)

No, it's not. Database for people who login last time 2 years ago contains information about new post since that time, so it's much bigger for user who login last time 2 weeks ago. This is why the forum has that kind of feature.

I thought it simply tags a post read if its been posted before the user logged in

It changed for you too.

Last time it was:
- 500 posts
- remove posts after 7 days
- except post writen through last 7 days

Now it is:
- 1000 posts
- remove posts after 14 days
- except post writen through last 7 days

I suggest you to visit our forum at least one per two weeks :)

Sorry for double post.

Your account exceed maximum amount of unread posts: 1000 Information about unread posts was removed, without posts written* through last: 7 days.

* Written has a wrong spelling... it was written like this: writen
