There are 2 exceptions where the BOINC forums will load all posts: 1) A post which isn't the first or one of the last N in the thread is directly linked to. 2) A thread has been inactive for around 5 weeks, at which point the BOINC forums lose track of the last post read and the thread is marked as having new posts. If new posts are added to such a thread all posts have to be loaded (and the first post is displayed rather than the first new one). -- Ian _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
