UPDATE: This has been implemented. In the case of the private entry having multiple categories, the first category returned by the database retrieval is selected.

Re: Take a second look at the private entries list
Thanks! Meanwhile, the see private entries mode works for anonymous users too. i.e. if you choose it and log out (but keep the link) or when you manually add &rt=p. Better fix before search engines catch on (if they didn't already).
Also, if you click Public or Private it adds an extra &, i.e. &&rt=p or &&rt=f. It doesn't break anything, but should be avoided for clearer code.

Re: Take a second look at the private entries list
This has been fixed. Thanks for the suggestion!
Re: Take a second look at the private entries list
The double && seems fixed too, so I guess you did catch it, thanks!
Re: Take a second look at the private entries list
There's another issue, if you look by username (/index.php?q=[username XYZ]) then it looks for both Public and Private entries no matter what you do.
It makes it hard to monitor one's still private entries...
Could you fix?

Re: Take a second look at the private entries list
Please refer to this post.
So basically what you want to do is to add a '#' to the front of the username to see his private submissions.
- [username] alone simply list all the entries that the user has thumbed up, even those that has gone private.
(Note: all entries submitted by the user automatically goes under his "thumbed up aka. favorite" list)
- [@username] list all the user's submissions (both public and private).
- [#username] list all the user's submissions (private only).
tproli did suggest that I add these more arcane parameters to the detailed search page, but I must have decided against it because I assumed most people won't be interested. Well, no one asked until 13y later, so I was right

But I think maybe I would add it to a collapsible text block in the search details page so that I won't be forced to search through the forum for this again!

Either way, by now even the homepage shows private entries when not being logged in...
Although please vote for the specific one from the screenshot to make it public.

I think I figured out what's wrong and fixed it. Try again pls.lwc wrote: ↑Sun Mar 16, 2025 11:16 amThis one is broken.Andrew Lee wrote: ↑Fri Mar 14, 2025 9:08 pm - [#username] list all the user's submissions (private only).
This is due to increasing CloudFlare's security level to "I am under attack", which for some convoluted reason stopped the database statuses from updating when the entry score increases above the threshold (10).
