Question Sep 12, 2018 at 02:46 PM

I've been on here since 2008 and this tab has always worked for me. Every now and then, I like to see if any of my posts got a "thanks" or "hugs", as it gives me a lift.

FYI, yes I did read the "read this first before posting here".

I've always used public computers at the library so no control over many features or options, such as clearing the cache or whatever. Users can't access that. All I can do is log out and back in again or refresh the page.

They have both IE and Firefox. I don't know what operating system it is for IE, and even the librarian doesn't know. I just know it's Windows but not the latest version. IE version is 11 which is old.

For Firefox, it is "57.0.4 (32-bit)".

At another place I've had access to Chrome. I've even tried the latest Chrome browser on their operating system: 68.0.3440.118 64 bit.

None of them work:

This is what's happening: When I click on a link like "find all of my posts with a thanks," it will bring that list up, BUT when I click on the ACTUAL POST to see who thanked me, it will take me to that thread not the post itself (like it used to).

Not only that, but it takes me to the BEGINNING of the thread which in some cases started years ago.

Anyone else have this problem or use their statistics at all?

Anyone want to respond, even another member?

Hmmm, they seem to work okay for me.... I've included a screenshot of how it's working in my browser.

Owl, I checked my own stats. I looked at posts where I received hugs. On the stats page a post in the thread would show on the list, but when I clicked on that post it took me to the first post in the thread. Seems like we have experiencing the same thing.

I think my OS is Windows 10. I'm using the most recent version of Chrome as my browser.

Ah jeeze, I feel like an idiot. Ignore everything I said above. I was clicking on the wrong link! If I click on the link for the actual post it goes to the post. If I click on the link for the thread it goes to the first post in the thread.

just a thought we can control what order we want to see posts in. the setting is in edit options....

first step click the word "profile" in the bar at the top of the page.

this will open your user control panel

next click on "edit Options" on the left side of page

next scroll down to "Thread Display Options"

then set your option of whether you want to see older posts in your threads first or newer ones first. I have mine set at linear older so that the original posters post is always on page one of the thread. if you would like the last post to be page one select linear - newer.

Thanks....I have it set to see newest posts and has never been an issue.

I know what you mean, and I've been doing that for 10 years. And it has always worked, until now. I know I'm clicking on the right link. Since nobody else has posted they have this problem, it's just me again.

Well at least I can see part of the posts I got a "thanks" or "hugs" on. I can't see how many or from whom since it would take forever to find the actual post. But I know I got at least one and that's something. Whatever is causing this it's something I can't control.

For some unknown reason, if I click on "view all my posts", then it brings up a list of them showing the first sentence or two... and if I click on one of them, it WILL take me DIRECTLY to that specific post....

FYI, this happens to me also when clicking on another member's post from THEIR statistics page. I wanted to find "all posts by ______", and it brought up a list of them with previews.

Then, I found the one I want and clicked on it. It took me to the first post in the thread.

Giving up on this now since there's no solution.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
