There is a pagination problem, a thread with currently 160 posts, shows page 8 out of 9, and when you click on page 9 - it stays on page 8...

here

Note,its likely the problem will disapear when more posts are added...
But it occured at 160 posts in the thread.

I was just tootlin along to say that.

Hi, the madbid thread appears to have been moved and then closed by a moderator for where it was moved to? I been using that thread for several months and now it is locked. We had some comments of suitability, yet Ive made more from MB than my entire investment portfolio. Many thanks

Just to back up what you are saying about madbid being a more tactical game rather than gambling; i saw that no one was on the pspgo at the weekend and i got it for 53p. i placed about ten bids on it. i was well chuffed:j

after a comp/post has been expired and then unexpired the expired button seems to stay visible in certain circumstances

if you click on the comp post in question the button that appears in the post is "expired?" - this shows it is active

if you search for the post directly "E: 04/01 Win A Luxurious Gourmet Break For Two At Northcote, Lancashire " the button doesnt show in the results

however when sorting posts by date and scrolling through when you get to the page that it is on - the button shows as below

It used to be that if I replied to a post I was automatically subscribed to the thread, so I was notfied of further posts till I unsubscribed. I like it that way.

Now that doesn't seem to happen and I have to remember to manually subscribe, which is a nuisance, especially if I've given practical information on a thread which might lead to further queries.

Hi folks,

We've been experiencing some slowness on the Forum recently and one of the things we've been able to track it down to is the huge amount of thread subscriptions that we have to deal with, some of which date from the instalation of vBulletin, over 4 years ago.

In the old days, all users were automatically subscribed to every thread they posted in and it's this legacy that's causing us the problems.

So, to solutions:

1. From 10pm this Thursday, October 8th, we are taking the Forum down for an hour to delete a large number of old subscriptions - every thread that hasn't been updated for 6 months of more will have it subs removed.

2. We are going to switch everyone's automatic thread subscription setting to "Do not subscribe". If you want to change this,. you will need to go into your User CP - Edit Options - Messaging & Notification section and change the setting back.

3. We are considering setting a subscription limit to try and minimise the resource this consumes but we'll make that decision after we've done the deletion and see where that gets us.

We hope that this operation will give us back some resource without having any major negative affect on users.

if you have any questions, please let us know.
