Can't view more than one "new post" page

enrique · Guru Joined: 03 Sep 2002 Posts: 342 Location: Denmark

If I select https://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?search_id=newposts I can only see the first page, if I select another page, I get "No topics or posts met your search criteria". I had the same problem a very long time ago, and it was fixed by changing a setting in the forums. It had something to do with the range of IP or something, it is probably because I'm behind a firewall.

I can't find the answer I got back then so I can't provide any more information.

Works fine for me. Search results timeout. How long are you waiting before clicking on page #++, or next?

I scroll down the page, opening post of intrest in new tabs, so I would say I press next in around 10-20sec. I have searched through old mail backups, but I could not find the mail I got with the solution last time... I can only remember it had something to do with IP addresses.

If I press next as soon as the page is displayed the same thing happens.

The problem must be caused by your local network/proxy/firewall etc.

Yeah probably. We use a series of parent proxies. But it worked in the past, so is there any chance of it working again?

If you tried "view unanswered posts" (forums index page, upper right corner), you'd see a page no. 1, but won't be able to access the following pages - just try. It says "page not found", at least on konqueror.

I wanted to say that long before, but it seems I don't find anything better to kill my time with now :oops:

It works well for me, with firefox and konqueror. What's exactly the problem, you don't see the link or link leads in the wrong place?

Funny, it works now

I'm behind a transparent proxy, too. So that might be the cause. Maybe because the cache was clear now.

I was having this problem in Firefox. I removed cookies from forums.gentoo.org and that took care of the issue.
