    I hate YaBB right now...
    « on: August 14, 2006, 01:06:26 PM »
    Notice a little, itty bitty problem with the FAQ Solution Database. THERE'S ONLY ONE PAGE!!!

    OK, I didn't cause this directly. But this happened right after the following:

    I looked at my backup FAQ threads in that area. They were really pointless, since now all of them can be seen and these were duplicates. I removed them. Here is a screenshot showing I ONLY removed my extras:

    Now, all of a sudden most of them can't be seen. The links still should work, I tried them. But they aren't visible... as usual.

    Prepare to see some duplicates of this post in that forum. I'm thinking that if I bump it back to 2 pages we should be able to see it all. AGAIN, I STRESS THAT I ONLY REMOVED MY DUPLICATE THREADS.

    Hopefully I didn't totally mess this up. (I don't think I did, but with YaBB you never know...)

      Done. With my quick fix in QA0052 all threads can be seen again.

      This really pisses me off that I have to SPAM to keep it working. All I wanted to do was fix my previous mess. >:(

        Dilbert ,    I look at your link and I can see a lot of Q/A that dont appear in the list in the Qand A section ........

        Exactly what are you doing ?

        If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

          Remember when I used my backup of FAQ threads to try to restore the FAQ Solution Database? Well, the way I saw it, since I discovered a temporary solution to the problem there, I no longer needed those backup threads I posted. They were just duplicates of the ones already there. I removed them. (Like I said, these were only my posts. The originals can still be read.)

          However, this caused the FAQ Solution Database to only display a small portion of said Database thanks to some YaBB glitch. So, I made "spam" threads to bump the size of the first page back to 2 pages, and this allowed me to use my quick fix to view all of the threads.

          So basically, the cleanup I tried to accomplish went balls-up and made only part of the FAQ Solution Database visible again, only this time I couldn't use any "quick fix" to make it work. So I made a few empty threads to force the forum to display enough pages that I could implement my method and see all the threads again.
