Finding the first post in a thread
I don't know if this problem has been reported...
Recently redwolf submitted a new thread, at Message 1
After four posts had been added, I checked out the list of posts by redwolf, and there was no link to this thread; and so he had missed out on the fact that the topic was on-line.
It is likely that he will be adding new posts, so the problem may go away as soon as he makes another reply to the thread.
However, if we a problem where the first post in a new thread is not properly linked to the message list of it's author, then that should be fixed. Note that this thread was approved in two steps.
  1. Archive; retaining a copy in the proposals forum.
  2. Move; deleting the copy in the proposals forum.

There's an Update Member Message Lists item on the control panel. I just ran it and the message lists appear fine now. I also found the bug causing new posts not to be recorded in member message lists. Let me know if you find there are still some remaining problems in this area.
The two examples I cited last time are fixed when I looked. So there was nothing for me to "update" in this instance.
Are there any circumstances in which a message list can get screwed up up? Should an update be part of the topic approval procedure? Or is this just a backup measure for when something goes unexpectedly wrong?
Thanks -- Sylas
