AIBU to want 100 threads in Active Conversations?

32 replies

FerminaUrbinoDaza · 06/10/2010 08:17

Well, am I? I have it set to 100 and it says "Searched for last 100 discussions with new messages" at the top of my active convos page, but, I never have 100 threads shown Confused

I counted just now [sado] and there were 49.

vbusymum1 · 12/10/2010 15:33

It's been looking great all day, thought you must have done something! So much nicer to use this way, thank you.

If it goes wonky again I'll shout.

Hi, We did an update to this overnight. Can you let me know if you still see too few threads. Ta mucho.

Feenie · 11/10/2010 21:39

I've hardly got any topics hidden but only have 31 active convos at the mo. That can't be right!

vbusymum1 · 11/10/2010 20:54

You see - I know it was something to do with hidden topics, said so daaaays ago Grin

Great, thanks for that.

I've not hidden AIBU or Chat but some of my hidden topics probably are quite busy. Antenatal shite Clubs for one. Mmmm. I might have to start being more tolerant Shock

I never hide threads/topics and it does the same thing to me. It's been going on for a while, too.

Yes, topics would count I think. If you hide a topic that is very busy you might lose a big chunk of your list. We'll have a look at it anyway and try see what is going on.

Thanks Tech

I suspected it might be something like that so gave it a test on Friday, I had 56, then hid 6 random threads, after which I had 66. So, I assumed it must be something else.

I do hide a lot of threads, but not loads. Certainly not 124 from the last 200. Do hidden topics come into it? I'm pretty sure plenty of people hide as many (or more) topics as I do.

But, it's been looking OK for the last hour or however long it is since I came down from putting the DC to bed.

I think what it does (from memory) is start off with about twice the number it thinks you want. Then it knocks off any you've hidden, then chops the list at the cutoff (50, 100 etc.) So if you've asked for 100 in your list, but you've hidden 124 out of the last 200 threads, your list will only show 76 (200 - 124) threads.

Are you hiding a lot of threads maybe?

Had a 'tech's been busy' looking shortage just now (white space between last thread on active convos and the list of links at the bottom) probably 30ish. Now it's back to looking like 100ish. Can't be arsed to keep counting all the time.

Very annoying.

56, then 66 after I'd hidden a few threads to test a theory.

But, AIBU?
