Topic: Some new topics not displayed on index page

Hello

I'm a new user and I have some problems:

On my index page, I see the list of categories, forums and on the right side number of discussions, messages and last message writer. BUT, it is visible only for SOME messages.

In one category, you can see discussions:0, messages:o, but when I open the category, I see that there are 3 discussions, many answers.

Can you see where the problem is?

Are you making topics/posts through post.php?

...
It is quite new, and there is very few posts, so please make a test in the "autres" category, so I can find it and delete it, without beeing too "visible" for the visitors.

On the same forum, you can see the problem "Unable to fetch ... search", if you try to write "èfèfèfèf" (it doesn't mean anything, but illustates well the problem that we have wink)

Re: Some new topics not displayed on index page

I saw the issue in one forum, but me making a post/deleting it fixed it
I think your issue is that when you make a post and get the search indexing error, update_forum isn't called.

I made some tests now - if it's Administrator that writes something - the message will be visible. If it's user, then possibly not.

Re: Some new topics not displayed on index page

The search indexing errors are usually caused by an incomplete conversion to UTF-8. I would search the forums and see if anyone mentions something you may have missed.

Thank you very much for your interest!

For your info - I changed collation to UTF8_general and in common.php it's also UTF8

Re: Some new topics not displayed on index page

It's ok now wink

I found it in the topic you recommended to me - the WORD line in search_words table changed from Varchar to Varbinary. And that's it

Thanks to all
