I have noticed that when I click "View My Content" to get a list of topics I've posted in, not every topic I have posted in is listed. I realize that there is a delay between when I first post in a topic and when it is listed, but some threads never show up. This bug is particularly annoying when I want to link to a thread I remember posting in before.

For example, I just posted in this thread to suggest a solution to a problem I've encountered before. I wanted to link to this other thread - in which I discussed something very similar - but it is not shown in my content list. Fortunately, I was able to find it by looking at the topics in the subforum since it was fairly recent. However, when I want to find a thread I posted in a week or two ago, that is not a practical work-around.

This used to be a huge problem, if I remember right it was nearly a year it didn't work for or at least it seemed like that to me. I've noticed this as well today and it's not even just with topics that I've recently posted in, happens with ones from a couple of days ago as well. At first I thought maybe the thread had been removed but I found it in search.

I found a similar thread from June 2011, but its not quite the same issue. In that thread "My Content" simply wasn't updating. It updates for me; it just selectively doesn't show some threads.

Ohh wow that was actually me that started that thread! I'd forgotten that that was the problem, I have such a bad memory :p

    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
