Zachajariah Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Why do I not have access while I'm currently logged in, to view my own threads I've started and threads I've posted on from the statisticts page? Reply fast please, because if I go afk for 2 minutes I won't be able to search for this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carthedani Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've noticed this as well. I'm not sure if it's still a "Work in Progress" type thing or they're having issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniline Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) I've run into this as well. I'll log in, go to the forums, and suddenly I'm logged out again and have to log back in again only to be logged out when I go to the forums. Very frustrating. I think it's something in my cache/cookies from when I was viewing the forums before I bought the game. Like my cookies still think I'm unsubscribed. Yesterday I cleared out my cache, cookies, and other temporary internet files and it hasn't given me issues since. Edit: Ooo... the search feature... nevermind I was thinking of something else.

Zachajariah Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've noticed this as well. I'm not sure if it's still a "Work in Progress" type thing or they're having issues with it. Ive managed many forums before. In phpBB it's a ( literally ) 2 second fix. All you do is enable an option to allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carthedani Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well if you think about it when you're trying to view your own posts, you need to search for them first Hmmm....I guess so. I maybe mis-understood, thinking that Allison was talking about the "Search" feature for trying to find threads. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baizak Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 This thread has nothing to do with the search feature....I'm confused now.

alkanterah Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 It definitely makes using these forums a huge PITA. Rarely can I find the thread I've previously posted in. Doesn't help that they keep "temporarily" closing threads for clean up, whatever that means. That's when they really float deep into forum history. Over 10 days now without forum search.

RickRedOne Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Set all your posts so that you subscribe to anything you post. Then all threads you post in will be listed, and you can check they at the top. You might want to set the default to no-email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draflorin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 i think they are doing it on purpose to make it hard for people to resurrect the axe they were grinding yesterday. if you have to search back 50 forum pages manually people tend to give up and find something else to do.

RickRedOne Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think it's because the search is destroying the performance of the web pages. Just in the last 7 days (which is all I have my settings set to display) there are 331 PAGES of threads just in General. Think of what it takes to search the entire forum!!!

TheZeph Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) For those who don't understand how the forum works... They've disabled the search on the forum. Finding (that's what the forum does for you) your posts if used by this string: http://www.swtor.com/community/[color="Red"]search.php[/color]?do=finduser&u=[color="Orange"]xxxxxxxxx[/color] In the red part you see the search action. In the orange part will be your userid on the forum. Edited December 29, 2011 by TheZeph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veyl Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm currently still bugged where I can't write anything in a Title (thus not being able to create my own threads). The ingame support and the CS on the website so far has told me on 4 different occasions the same exact copy and paste of "account issues". Meanwhile, everything under my account says that it's completed and shows the check mark as such. Yet, I still can't create my own forum posts. Maybe I was too harsh in beta about character creation being terrible. Am I being published berryman? Is that the case?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was too harsh in beta about character creation being terrible. Am I being published berryman? Is that the case?! Why can't you create a Title? I hope it's not because you don't see a box to put one in, because the box outline disappeared a couple of maint periods ago. You need to move your mouse pointer under the title: till you get the input cursor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
