Date Filter problem.
-
I make a post yesterday at 8:28 PM on the Algorithms forum. I looked today at algorithms at 8:34 PM, just past one day, but I used a date filter of last week. The post does not show up. Why?

This may be a dumb question, but when you set the date filter in the dropdown, did you click 'Set Options'?

Chris, It is not a dumb question (just like the classic tech service question "did you plug it in?" which must get a lot of hits to make it the question at the top of the list). The answer is "yes". Most of the time changing date filter seems to hang, so I go to ASP.NET (almost no entries) and set the date filter there (almost an immediate response), then I go back to the forum I really want to see. Changing the date filter while in the Lounge leaves you enough time to go for a quick lunch. With a date filter set at last day, I can go to Algorithms and still do not see a post I made st least 7 hours ago. If I navigate to code project via the email response link "to reply click here", then I can see the post which sent the email, I can reply, then exit CP, and if I enter CP directly (codeproject.com), go to Algorithms with a date filter of last day, then sometimes I cannot see the post that caused the email, even though it was made some 5 hours before. While replying and after I post the reply, I can see the post and my reply, but when I leave and come back in the front door, nothing shows up. I can live with this, but it is still strange. OBTW, Thanks for fixing the ThreadView problem, works great, an exact match for clicking a bookmarked forum entry. You get a date filter of All, the whole thread shown, and the bookmarked entry (or current entry if browsing) opened and highlighted. You just have to remember to hit Back on the browser or else you will see thousands of following entries. Dave.
