It's just that when I click on "view new posts" I don't get any messages saying "No new posts, get back to work forum whore" or "This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between searches. Please try again in X seconds" even if I'm abusing the poor little link.

The problem seem to be occuring when there's no new posts cause when there is... everything is working normally (I think).

Anyway, here's a screenshot.


Another quick one. Is this a known issue that the "forums tool" button doesn't work in Chrome ? It act like an anchor and it scroll to the bottom of the page.

Weird. Everything looks and behaves fine with the Mac version of Chrome. I'll fire up VMware shortly to report on what I see under Windows. When there are no new posts, it should look like this:

That should work too. Would you verify that you have JavaScript enabled? Without JavaScript, yes, the link acts like an anchor.

Also, do you have any sort of ad blocking or proxy software running?

Gah! Brad, you shouldn't tease us with the Chrome goodness.

I've been getting that behavior as well, Brad. Safari 4.0.3, 10.5.8.

[Brad]

Huh!

Regularly? Or is this uncommon?

[Kickaha]

Not common, but not that unusual. Happened a couple times a day or so for the past... week? Two weeks?

I get it every time there are no new posts on both safari on 10.6 and normal AN version on the iPhone.

Hmmm.... I wonder if this is an odd issue with how vBulletin hides spam posts. Technically, they are new posts and show up to admins/mods and might not be marked as read by regular users. vBulletin might be filtering in a way that causes the main template to behave as though there are posts to show, but then having nothing to iterate over when showing the results.

For what it's worth, I've never seen the situation that you guys are describing; so, my guess seems plausible. If that's the case, then there's not much I can do about it.

FWIW.

I've never seen the behavior as reported by dmegatool, Kickaha and jdcfsu.

However, on a different vBulletin forum, I've seen behavior where a thread header is created but the original post is missing.

Don't know if they could be related but here it is.

[Kickaha]

Just happened again...

I've been seeing this for a few days now but I thought it might have been related to GlimmerBlocker -- after disabling it, though, it seems not to be.
