Hi, sorry for the slow response.

I think what you're looking for is in Subs-Recent.php ~ line 89. Try changing it there.

Sorry for the reopening an old topic but I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere else.

Changing number in Subs-Recent.php, line 89 simply doesn't help. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

then your best solution would be to have opened a new topic, and stating your problem from scratch

[RakeW]

This is the same problem and it wasn't solved at that time.

but this thread belongs to someone else and you should not bump old topics, this way we can track your issue and make sure you get it solved, by posting in someone elses thread we cant make sure you get your issue solved.

Illori, why doesn't this forum LOCK topics marked "solved" instead of chewing out noobs for posting into them? If the capability doesn't exist already, it should be a fairly simple change to the "solved" mod (automatically lock the topic) and to the locking system (authorize topic owner to unlock, even if they didn't do the lock themselves). Do you realize how much time each day you and other moderators waste telling people not to post into "solved" (but unlocked) topics?

[hcfwesker]

I imagine they're not locked, cause  the same member could find n additional problem to the issue they thought 'was' solved.  And may need to come back and post an update.

[MrPhil]

As I said, the (revised) lock could be removed not only by moderators but also by the topic owner, for that very purpose. This lock would keep random other members from jumping in with similar problems (forcing them to open their own topics).
