Search malfunction

Post by Aku-Aku »

I noticed that accidently.

I clicked on my name in the topic list, to see what will show the forum about me.

After when i clicked on Find all posts by Aku-Aku, i noticed to posts under my name but they weren't mine.

Generally the search does not works ok.
I have use it a lot of times and always i get too many results with irrelevant posts.
Also, when you click on "View unread posts" always return all posts that you have not read, but it must not shows old threads that i don't read after that last logout.

I mean that after logout, all posts must set as read.
Keep coding...

That's a feature, *NOT* a bug.

The text you're seeing are quotes that were in your posts... ;)

It does make it seem like you said things you didn't... but I doubt they will include [quote][/quote] box formatting just to convenience you.

But it can be a button to make all unread posts "read"

Did you test it? It doesn't work most of the time. The forum is marked as read, but the topics not.
