Some tweaks to transfer tweets page

Insanity said:
Sorry if I came across wrong, I meant a thread for only transfer tweets, if possible only Manchester United related transfer tweets. Right now there is all sort of stuff posted, from Hiddink's resignation to Van Persie catching a fish.

I think that's more about the posters in the source thread than the technology. That thread's title is already rather long ("Transfer Tweets - Summer 2015 | When posting old/non-transfer tweets put them in quote tags) and the people who like finding the tweets and chatting in the thread are already following some quite strict rules about who to quote and how to quote. The odd rogue tweet that gets through our unofficial filter into RedCafe's personalised twitter feed seems a small price to me.

That said, I had no idea I wanted a Redcafe personalised twitter feed until we got it. Now I think it's a great addition.

You are right. Posters have to be more careful about posting stuff; I saw Damien's post where he has asked people to put other tweets in quotes so that it doesn't show in the transfer tweets tab.

It is great; I hated sifting through myriad of useless nonsense to find a tweet. I am just being greedy asking for an exclusive Man United twitter thread. :)
 
I've discovered a possible issue. When I go to view the tweets by oldest, it does not show all of them up to the newest one. Do they get truncated after a certain number?

I think it's working ok. The page will show a maximum of 40 posts. Less if you are only viewing new posts since you last read the page.

At the minute I have four new tweets. What I normally do is go to the bottom and start reading up so I can follow a possible story-line.

If I arrange by oldest then 40 tweets show from Yesterday at 15:48 to Yesterday at 23:05

None of the tweets after that show nor do the last four (can't see a page number either just in case they are on the next page).

Isn't the arrange by oldest supposed to show what you haven't read oldest to newest?

When you change the ordering, it reloads the page with the full list of tweets, not the newest. If you come back later when there are new tweets, you will see only new tweets in the order you previously chose.

Not sure if there is an issue with missing tweets when viewing in a specific order, I'll take a look.

Understood the first part. What happens for me when I order via oldest, the page reloads and there are 40 old tweets with the newest not included but if I go out and I come back in it shows 40 tweets up to the newest tweets ordered by oldest which is how it should work going by what you said.

So the "problem" is only immediately after you select to view by oldest, the page reloads and there are only a bunch off old tweets there.
 
You're right @LitterBug there was a bug when viewing oldest first, it wasn't showing up to the most recent posts. It is now.

Also, changing the order now remembers whether you were viewing unread posts or not, so it's less confusing.
 
Works perfectly now. THANKS!

On a separate note I only seem to be getting mostly Russian dating adverts, is this the same for everyone? I'm already married to a Russian can't handle another :(

I'm on the work VPN currently at home and would never visit anything like that on my work laptop anyway. Doesn't bother me but feels like Google taking the piss :lol:
