Thanks for the offer, Brian. I found posts between July 22 and August 6 of 2009 that aren't visible in profiles when they should be, but haven't dug any deeper than that.

To simplify things: ALL last posts before July 17, 2009 are now not visible. Somewhere between July the 17th and August 17th, this issue stops showing (I’m not sure what day it is, because this is as far as I was able to narrow it down). ALL last posts after August 17, 2009 are still available to see. So there’s a “cut-off date” within that one-month range (and if you want me to try to find the exact day using other boards’ members, I’m happy to try it out ). If the posts before this date could be brought back to profiles, it’s make me very happy. All deleted/hidden posts make sense to not display, but otherwise they should show IMO. Happy Thanksgiving! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Thu, 22 Nov 2018 15:37:48 +0000 Re: Other User Optionshttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p298526,from=rss#post298526https://bakheva.runboard.com/p298526,from=rss#post298526quote:Messup434 wrote: On the other hand, the "search users and boards" is working better than ever now!

I’ve corrected it to avoid confusion. I feel better to have more information available than less and allowing last posts to be available for all members (at least those whose posts still exist does just that).

I have also wanted to look at very old posts, from my own board, to see when an old member last posted and there were none to see.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Susa)Tue, 20 Nov 2018 16:33:50 +0000 Re: Other User Optionshttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p298512,from=rss#post298512https://bakheva.runboard.com/p298512,from=rss#post298512I'm back I know I seem to care more about the least-important things, but I'm detail-oriented, what can I say? Anyway, what do you think of this idea?: Keeping all of the deleted/hidden post links off the page (as I understand why you wouldn't want to have them sticking around), but bringing back the posts that are still around to that page. I'm guessing the change to "last posts" was never even intended to wipeout some of the posts that were still around anyway, so there might be a way around it? Using the board I frequent most, it seems the cut-off date was between July 17, 2009 and August 17, 2009 ( this page and this page). And no, this board has no deleted posts and, as global admins, you all should be able to see all of the hidden ones, as well (I hope!). You can take some members from before the 17th July and after the 17th August to prove that this is a consistent discrepancy. I don't know why members who haven't posted since the given dates' last posts don't show, but I'd assume it's down to a big update that occurred before August 17th (possibly introduction of live feed?). I know this seems really silly, but it is nice to see last posts when they are, in fact, there. I'm sorry I can demand things but not offer any advice on how to do it, but could there be a workaround code? I know these members are really old anyway, but I love seeing last topics and posting dates This is truly my only real "improvement suggestion" for Runboard Thank you for reading!! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Tue, 20 Nov 2018 03:38:07 +0000 Re: Other User Optionshttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p298483,from=rss#post298483https://bakheva.runboard.com/p298483,from=rss#post298483Maybe that’s just me then - I like a mystery and trying to figure-out what the last topic posted in could have been about and what board it was on was fun for me (though I suspect only me). I often just use it to see when a person has last posted. But if you could do the last 10 existing specifically, that’d be neat, too! PS: Users whose last posts DO still exist can also have them lost with this - people who haven't posted since 2009 or prior are afflicted with this. Not sure what the exact cut-off day is, but I'm assuming it's the same date that live-feed functions were added. But EVERYONE from 2008 and before's last posts don't show, even though I know they do exist (because I remember from before the change a few years back). If you want a specific instance where I can try to prove this with, let me know! On the other hand, the "search users and boards" is working better than ever now!

I wouldn't want any dead links, though. If there aren't any existing public posts to display in the profile of someone who has elected to show their last public posts, then I think it should have a note to that effect, not a bunch of dead links.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lesigner Girl)Thu, 15 Nov 2018 11:20:12 +0000 Re: Other User Optionshttps://bakheva.runboard.com/p298471,from=rss#post298471https://bakheva.runboard.com/p298471,from=rss#post298471quote:Lesigner Girl wrote: quote:Pastor Rick wrote: Perhaps a compromise solution is possible?

Thank you for the response Jox, but my main thing is seeing their last posts. I just think even having old links looks a bit better than that box being awkwardly empty. Or it'd at least be cool if there was a fix for people whose last posts ARE still around. Getting rid of all last posts (regardless of their availability) was a side-effect of this fix . It's just my opinion, but I've seen many others confused about this, as well.

For the first year or two that I was on here, I always enjoyed taking a look at past users’ profiles. Don’t ask me why, I’m just like that Back then, you could use the “Search users and boards” feature to find every member in history. I thought this was really neat to have, but since the update from a couple of years ago, this function works only very inconsistently, and often only displays people that you have as “friends”. I don’t know if this has been done on purpose, so it’s harder to spy on other people (), but I preferred being able to search for all users. My other query is the “10 most recent posts”. For people who haven’t posted since 2009 (or around there), no last posts show up. This was another change made by the update a couple years back. I know this was put into place so there weren’t links to deleted/private posts, but I much preferred the old style of being able to see the last posts, regardless of whether these posts were still available. Plus, the update caused a bit of collateral-damage in that even posts that ARE still available don’t show-up if the user hasn’t posted since 2009. I’m just wondering if you could bring all of these last posts back/consider implementing this change. I know this might be more appropriate for “Feature Requests”, but I thought it fit a bit better in Q&A, since I’m just asking for older ideas to return. Again, it’s unimportant, but I just always liked being able to find people, and see when they stopped posting lol.
