Where'd the New Posts nav link go?

I've been using this feature heavily, but now its place next to Search is filled with ugly grey texture. I could be missing how to access it...

Although remember that it is an evil, nasty server-bashing function. Uses a lot of server resources - try to only use it when things are quiet.

of course my question is this..

how come everytime I try to USE that feature (weather there are new posts or not in my subscriptons) I get the 'you can't do that' flag with the whole following page.




KaintheSeeker, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

You have to be a community supporter to use the search feature.

We haven't had a new upgrade - just a few style redesigns. The upgrade happens later, when the new server is online.

So.... your thread subscription page is not working? The one at: http://www.enworld.org/forums/subscription.php? ?

No, it's the new posts on the 'My Account' tab.

You're confusing "New Posts since My Last Visit" with "My Subscriptions." The first option won't work for you since it requires the search feature. The second should.

Still I get that on my screen when I could look for new posts before. Is it a change from the upgrade?

Then you're a very lucky person and somehow had free access to the search function without being a community supporter.

The new posts function is part of the search function. It searches for new posts. It only works (and only ever has worked) for people with access to the search function.

Really? I didn't think the 'see if you got new posts on your subscriptions' function was part of the search option. I had intended to buy a subscription as soon as I could this eyar, but I thought seeing new posts on your subscriptions wasn't part of that.

The new posts function and subscriptions are two entirely different things. I'm really confused as to what you're talking about here.

Are you talking about this: http://www.enworld.org/forums/subscription.php?

Or this: http://www.enworld.org/forums/search.php?do=getnew

The two are entirely unrelated. The latter is part of the search function (as you can see from the URL). The former is not.

Edit - anyone else noticing that links don't seem to be parsing for some reason?

Hmm.. Now I have. Let me check up on the code changes I made for the feat database.

(Note that it's only the autoparser that seems disabled. http://www.enworld.org/ still works.

If I had any idea what an autoparser was, I'd probably understand that sentence!

What's the difference between your link and mine?
