"Ignore new threads" wiped clean

[jefmcg]

For the second time in a couple of weeks, my https://www.cyclechat.net/account/new-posts has been deleted,so all boxes are unchecked and I am seeing sc&p in New posts. I'm sure this is nothing I have done myself.

Is there a way to protect these settings?

I use Ignore Nodes to block out SC&P, settings are still there for me:

Ignore nodes removes them completely; ignore new posts just excludes them from the New Posts search results.

@jefmcg the settings should save and "stick", and shouldn't reset without you taking action to adjust or remove them, so I'm not sure why they have disappeared.

Did you make any other account settings changes - even ones unrelated to the new posts ignore feature?

Cheers,
Shaun

Timezones. Both times.
.
Can you consider this a bug report?

I would be changing my password first personally.

Why?

I've tested it, and changing your timezone clears your ignore-new-posts settings, so I haven't been hacked. It doesn't affect ignore nodes settings though.

Fair enough. You never stated that bit. Working on IT, I always start with the most obvious and ruling out human error, the next most obvious is also human related and always a good place to look.
I do know that when I changed my time zone recently, it didn't untick everything in my ignore nodes area.

I didn't test it until just before I posted this. It was quite obvious to me what was happening after Shaun's question, but I tested it before replying to you.

A good point, but that someone had hacked my account and the only thing they touched was my ignored posts, twice, and both times just after I changed timezone did not seem a likely event.

I'm with you on the human error. I didn't mention it the first time, as I assumed it was my fat fingers.

That correlates ; it only cleared ignored new posts, not nodes.

Thanks.

Did you survive the Canberra winter ok?

This was actually a bug in the add-on, so you're not going mad ...

I've upgraded it to the latest version, which should fix the bug. Please give it another try and let me know if it retains your selection now?

Cheers,
Shaun

Yeah, all good now.
