Hello Admin! I'm experiencing a new problem with My Posts (or maybe it's not new but I'm just noticing it ;)). I always start my day at ECF by going to My Posts to see if there are any new replies in my threads. Alas, for some reason, not all of the threads with new replies migrate to the top of page 1, as they always did. I missed several responses to my recent posts because of that. I never had to look farther back than page 1 or 2 to find all the new posts. Today I found several new posts on page 3 and 4--the titles of the threads were bolded, indicating unread thread, but the thread didn't move up to page 1.

Again, I'm talking about my most recent posts, 1-2-3 days old, tops. Am I doing something wrong? I checked my general settings, nothing seems to have changed there.

Hi Katya,
The sorting issue in My Posts is a difference of opinion between vBulletins devs and the devs of sphinx search, or as Harry would probably say vBulletin's sub optimal coding. The sorting is by your activity in the thread as well as by the last activity. So a post you replied to today will be shown higher than a post your replied to three days ago even if the last reply was made at the same time today.

Another option is to use notifications, I prefer the control panel only option since email is batched and I monitor so many threads that I don't need my email exploding any more than it already foes.

Cheers!
