I think it's how IPB (if I am correct in that this forum uses it) manages queries of the database (to lessen the load) but could we have the choice to see MORE than the previous 5 topics & posts we've made? Why? I've not been here in years, yet my account is more than 6 years old and I've only about 93ish posts but even I can remember what I had created (topics) or posted when I came here years ago. Wonder if IPS would change it . . . . . hm.:whistle::shiftyninja:

So why do you want the forums to remind you about something that you already know?

I agree with the idea, since there are times that I remember posting something but I don't remember the details and would like to find it again, but your reasoning seems a bit bizarre.

That said, the forums themselves don't stretch back to their creation date, they only cover 9 pages, so having a complete history of your topics and posts wouldn't be possible.

Nope, thats the filter on them. Click "show filter options" on the bottom of the forums and set the Time Frame to "Show All"

You'll find the BPN forum, for example, goes back 1269 pages ;)

I think IPB 1.X & 2.X did show ALL your topics & posts, weather IPS (Invision Power Services) changed it to lessen server/database load, I don't know. Also as to the "show filter options" there should be a option in your user-control-panel that will show ALL threads without having to click the "show all" option.

Well would you look at that...the General Discussion stretches back to 2002 though, were the forums not created at the same time as the main site? Or maybe one of the updates to the forums meant that older posts couldn't be saved...

See these buttons:

The filter-style buttons above your about me section are simply for a quick overview. The buttons on the left allow you to search much further back.

I'll point out that those buttons still don't allow a complete index of your posts and topics. According to that function, my oldest topic that I created was back in March, which I'm pretty sure isn't the case. However, they do solve the OP's problem of showing more than the previous 6 topics...

Why not just do an advanced forum search with your member name lol?

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=search

I guess that would work since all the posts and topics of the forums are still available to view. I'm not going to try it right now though, since I'm quickly losing interest in the subject at hand :laugh:

"Find Posts" only shows your recent posts up to a maximum of 200 posts. If you want to look at your entire post history, use the advanced search feature.

Simply fill in the appropriate fields: Find author & Find by date.

I just used it to find your very first post (Posted 02 June 2004 - 16:31): https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/173560-word-association/page__p__2207118__fromsearch__1#entry2207118

Also note that for some odd reason, by default the most recent posts only go back by one year. I think that's the case even if you have less than 200 posts. You can easily adjust the time period using search advanced settings.

Ah, yes, I forgot. View all Topics/Posts is limited to one year, which, for the most part, should be far back enough. Using the advanced search, as suggested, allows you to see further back if necessary. This simply helps save resources.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
