Unread Replies - Empty Results

[DieGoO]

This happened when we upgraded from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 ..

?action=unreadreplies shows nothing.. even though there ARE new replies to topics that i created.. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Tried emptying the forum's cache, in Forum Maintenance?

Yes, but nothing changed..

Anyone?

I would tell you to mark everything as read so that you "start over". If, after that, you still miss replies, we can have another look at it.

I already did that as well, but it is still showing nothing.. and there are new replies to my threads

Can you get us a test user (normal user, non admin)?
Please let me know a board to post a test topic. You will then reply to it

No problems at all, as far as I see. Look at the attachment, I clicked Respostas and I got yours...

Well, on mine it shows nothing.. How is that even possible?

[margarett]

Errmmm... The way the "new"/"not new" topic works is not very "straight"...

If you try ?action=unreadreplies;all;start=0

Does it show something?

Yeah.. It shows all unread posts, not just from topics i replied to..

I think i just confirmed something..

Recently , we had a problem in the database where some users were deleted (me included).. we had a backup and restored those accounts. The accounts that were deleted and got restored are apparently the only ones having problems with the unread replies.. Anything to do in this case?

[margarett]

Did you restore just those members from "smf_members" table (kind of a "merge" operation) or did you restore the whole database?

If you restored the members (thus messing with the tables) it's very likely you should expect issues... Was this the case?
If it is, then I'm afraid this is now out of my league, sorry

We restored just the smf_members table.. 

So.. i guess this can't be solved?

[margarett]

I'm not sure, sorry...

The thing is, when you removed the users, the table "log_mark_read" (at least) had the respective rows, related to those users, also removed. So, it's very likely you do not get notifications about existing topics. Nevertheless, I believe new ones should be added. But now I'm just guessing...

edit: Can you try the maintenance tasks => "Find and repair any errors" and "Recount all forum totals and statistics"?

the problem with restoring just one table (or even worse, just one row in a table) is that SMF, like many other programs, has data spread between multiple tables and restoring one does not restore the necessary data in the other tables
