The site does seem to be going faster, with some things, but my layout 'A loose rendition of wadebridge' is no longer in 'my topics.' I can find it if I got to 'topics I've posted in,' but the newest thread in 'my topics' is a 2017 post. Can someone help with this please.
 

Cheers Pete.

Yet I read your post 288036   of today just now  in your thread which I found under the Recent grouping.
But as I know next to b….  all regarding websites & forums internal workings,  I am as much use as a hair brush for a bald man.

Thought the 'my topics' problem had been fixed back in April.

Are the posts you get under 'My Topics' your posts Pete, but in the wrong order ?

Looks like reenabling the caching has brought back the old phantom results issue.

I'll look into it but it's not going to be am easy fix I'm afraid. I ditched the caching to stop it but that had the knock on effect of slowly killing the forum speed.

I'll see what I can do.

Since the re-launch, under "My Topics", I have always got Bob K's posts.

Should have reported it but forgot with everything else that was going on.

Hi Barry.

While Jay is trying to fix the 'My Topics' button you could use this form that Martin Wynne kindly set up back in April

Start entering your user id in the Author/Submitter field and it will provide a drop down list where you can select your id.

Then select 'search content'.

Search content - Your Model Railway

It may be worth bookmarking the page once you open it in your browser (which is what I've done) so you can always find this form to search for your topics.

Its not really a problem for me but I will save the search facility in case I need it - great solution!

No Ed, it's not there at all. Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks. No notifications of threads, either.

I know I'm not the brightest with things, computers but I can't see any way of book marking. Could it be missing?

Depends on your browser Pete, but it's normally a star you click on at the end of the address bar.

Hi Ed,
Sorry, I've only just looked at the computer for the first time today. I've been run ragged by my grand daughter (cyclone).
Anyway, your post made the penny drop. I thought there must be a bookmark facility on the site, but I'm still kicking myself since I realised what was meant by bookmarking… doh.
It's done now. thanks.

Cheers Pete.

Hi

When I hit "My Topics", I get a different person each time.

Great way of meeting people though!!

For the time being I have replaced the "My Topic" button with a search posts button - this will take you direct to a search function where you can enter you own name as submitter.
