New posts are not 'bumping' the Happy Birthday Anita string

Post by Viking Star »

Last night, true to my word on the 'Looking for Fatt' string, I posted an update for Mangerton Cottage on the Happy Birthday Anita string. However the string is not appearing on the Home Page under 'ten most recent posts'. So unless anyone by chance opens that string, they would never know a new message had been posted. :(

I also tried submitting a further post on the same string, in case the first one was a one-off error. But that didn't bump the string either! :?

Grateful if this could be sorted out.

Anita I did keep my word, promise! :roll:

I don't know whether Keith has posted a note about it anywhere, Viking Star, but some topics like "General Natter" and "Games" no longer show up on the Home Page, in order to keep it more Blyton-focussed. When you look at the board index, unread posts in all topics will still show up in a different colour.

I enjoyed reading the latest installment of The Mystery of Mangerton Cottage, thanks, and have replied to your post. :)

I think you will find that most regular Forum users simply use the 'View New Posts' facility and everything does show up still on that. It is only the Home Page that now doesn't show some of the posts and this was actually changed several weeks ago. When he can spare the time, Keith is planning a 'makeover' for the Home Page and part of this was to make the Forum section less crowded.

Maybe your excellent posts on Mangerton Cottage deserve a thread to itself? :shock:
