Missing contact's most favorited posts on sidebar but not elsewhere. August 11, 2010 8:22 PM Subscribe
My front page contact sidebar is no longer showing posts by contacts that have received the threshold of 12+ favorites, plus other odd behavior.
If I click on All Activity I can see that people have been getting picked up by the system for getting 12+ favorites. It's making it into All Activity, but somehow it's not going from there to the front page sidebar.
When I first noticed this all my checkboxes for the various filters on the All Activity page were all checked. None were unchecked. I started messing around with them trying to suss out a pattern. I tried unchecking Favorites, clicking Filter, and it did as expected, it filtered the Favorite notes. I checked Favorites to reenable them, and clicked Filter, and... the favorites are still gone! :(
Now after screwing with the checkboxes some more, leaving, and coming back hours later and screwing with them again, I can finally see my contact's comments that have been favorited more than 12 times. On my All Activity page. I still can't see them on my front page contact activity sidebar.
It's doing this on 2 different computers, one Win7 64 and one Ubuntu 10.4, in IE8 and FF 3.6.8 and 3.6.7.
Here is my frontpage contact activity sidebar. Note the lack of "UserX had a comment with 13 favorites in Metafilter."
Here is what I get when I click on All Activity at the bottom of the contact activity section of the sidebar. There are such notifications there.
Here is a screenshot of my contact activity page with Favorites checked, with no favorites notifications visible when they should be.
