Forum: Bug Report and Feature Requests

From a clueless bystander, the hints which you let slip now and then of what you deal with on a frequent basis are amazing. Thank you for your hard work keeping this place running.

Remind me again why you delete your history?

The history doesn't represent what I actually read, not even close. Searching for lost story requests on the forum, reviewing authors/stories for the ReaderInfo site, etc. Regularly deleting the history gave a clean page with just a limited number of stories I accessed if I need it. The full list is kind of useless to me. On the other hand, I rarely use the list, most often only to clear it again. So if it's a real problem leave it as is, you probably have other things to do for the site that are way more important.

I did notice that only stories I have voted on are in the 'new' list, almost 1600 of them, all dated 1/1/1970 and sorted from highest to lowest score. I didn't remember there was actually a single story that I scored with "You call this a story", one I scored "Hated it", and one "Pretty bad". The rest I scored higher. Before the option to clear the list I sometimes used the list to see the date I read/voted a story but that is lost with all dates the same.

Don't forget to fix the last entry on the Removed list. The last entry (El Paso Border War) is missing the author (Joe J).

I fixed the bug with the date and amended the clear history notification to make it clear that stories voted on will not be cleared.

Thank you. I will review the list and see if it's more useful in my use-case although the dates still all show 1/1/1970. I suppose the fix only works for new votes from now on. Maybe it's because I cleared the list before.

I cleared the flags one last time. Now when you go to historical access it will restore from the votes table with proper dates.

Yep, the dates are back which also means the sorting is back on date. Thank you.
