View Active Topics broken

Post by nedbrek »

Hello all,
When I click the button "View Active Topics", it always shows no messages. Any idea what is wrong?

Same here, although I never noticed that button before: has it ever worked?

It's been like this for months. I thought it was just temporary.

It worked after I first joined. There was an update to the forum software a while back, that broke it. I assumed someone had noticed...

Well, if it were important, someone would have complained sooner...

Yes, "View new posts" and "View unread posts" are all I need.

This is a feature that can be turned on and off by the Admin. Though this wasn't always the case in previous builds (in fact this option was always on, no matter what). However, this bug has been fixed and its new default state has been set to off. If you want this feature to work again, then the Admin will have to log into the cpanel and turn it on.
Visit the Montrom user page for more info.

This option was turned off on all the forums and subforums, but due to a bug in the forum software the link was shown anyway.

Since it appears that people do use this feature, I went and enabled it for all forums except the auto-delete forum. The active topics page defaults to 7 days, but that time frame is selectable at the bottom of the active topics page.
