I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

OK. I blame Chuck Norris.

I'm that brave.

QuoteHi guys,

The short answer is - I have no idea why this stopped working. I'm not sure how I'm going to fix it but the work around right now is to top "&all" at the end of the URL. So THIS

The long answer is: it has something to do with how the theme interacts with the core engine, once the number of posts is over 100'000 it should change the link as above, but it isn't. I've tried running some update/recount script and it hasn't changed anything. The number of posts is too high, so it has to create temporary tables based off the main database rather than tie up the main tables long enough to run the query (bad overall design IMHO but who am I to say). It's not realisiing there are lots of posts when it should make the temp table, but when it comes to searching it DOES know that there are lots of posts and says "Where's my temp table" and promptly faints in shock and melodrama.

I will fix this, even if I have to brute force it, I just have to find the right place the kick it!

Thanks for looking.

That URL is different to what the button used to do :-\ 
The All Unread Topics button always worked/took you to the longer list.

Updated topics used to just show a list of unread topics the user was receiving notification for, rather than the whole shebang.

Hope that makes sense and is of some help, good luck.

The important question is surely what happened to Techno and Techno 2...

Is Doppelganger also their twin?

...quadruplet?!?
