 Topic: v9.08 bug
Posted: 10 April 2008 at 2:08am |

If the admin 'hides' a topic it is still visible and accessable from the main screen 'Last Post' area... it should not show up here. It is there until a newer post takes it's place, even though you can not see the topic in the forum list of topics.

Not quite sure why this is doing this as the code is in place to update this. Will look into though to findout what the issue is.

Maybe its because you are logged in as admin. Have you checked by opening a new browser window and seeing what Non-Admin members see. I know after my "goof" at the report a post thread in the last few days, that it could be a possibility

There does seem to be a bug, it depends how you hide the topic. If you use the Popup Topic Admin windows to hide the topic the forum stats are update, if you se the 'Hide Topic' in the drop down the forum stats are not updated, but this can be fixed by adding the following function call to the file lock_topic.asp:-
Call updateForumStats(intForumID)
Add this just before the call to clode the database connection near the end of the file.

This is only a minor bug, I personally prefer to use the pop up Topic Admin when hiding a topic, which only do once every 6 months.
I would just leave it as it's not really going to course to much bother, hence the reason it's taken over 2 years since this was introduced in version 8 for anyone to even notice it.

As Bruce says, only a minor bug. And if after two years, this is the first time its came up, then thats not too bad. It might be helpful though if peeps want to update the page you referred to Bruce that you could add a link to just that particular updated asp page, so it allows them the opportunity to update. I would but I'm stupid

The fix should be in the next release.
Releasing just individual updated pages courses to many issue with regards to support, so it's best to keep these types of things in the general release so can tell by the version numbver what code base people are running.
