You are not alone Dan, it happens to my posts as well. They seem to stay dated at an older date (pages down the list).

Hi,

This is one of the quirks with topics displaying on the forum. When I "Moderate" a posting, it effects the positioning of all topics which revert to original date order - messes up the postings.

I am sorry, but this is not at all an acceptable answer.

How can people help each other if they have difficulty finding (or can't at all find) the thread?

I posted to a thread last night, and it is gone as well.

This GREATLY reduces the effectiveness of posting in an on line forum.

What can be done about this serious flaw?

Dan

PS: What in that thread necessitated "moderation"?

Dan,

I moderate on the forum as lightly as possible. When I (or the Admin or other Moderator) need to make a change it effects ALL postings and topics as previously stated.

As this issue has been answered a number of times in the past - please use the Search capability to find out more. It's a quirk in the scripting.

Please send in a comment to CyberLink.

A visit to "Recent Topics" might help you locate a recent posting. It has also taken you 42 days to come back with a response! I see that pjc and I responded within 1 and 2 days. What necessitated you to be so slow in responding?

I also answered both your previous postings and made representations on the mp4 issue.

Along with vn800Rider, we have been looking at mp4 rendering to return the footage to our cameras - to play and use the camera as the HD device for the fully edited video on our TV's. However there is a considerable variation in the codecs used to create MP4's. This non-standard 720p mp4 issue is one of the reasons why PD7 does not include the capability.

We have to date been unsuccessful in getting our cameras to read mp4's created by any software.

I hope the information is of use.

Again, it seems a bit sad that this is just accepted as “normal” (at least by the moderators). I frequent many different forums and do not remember any of them having this sort problem. Have you considered using different software?

If this has been answered "a number or times in the past", would you not think the issue necessitates a sticky?

A section for Site Bugs/Fixes may also be very helpful.

Getting the word out on a problem so many people are having may help to prevent members and mods alike from wasting their time.

I am very acquainted with the search function and its uses as evidenced in my original post in this thread.

My complaint (as well as many others it would seem), is that the search function is not always the preferred method for reading the forums. When one starts or contributes to a thread, they are obviously hoping others will read and reply if necessary. When the post gets shuffled backward, nowhere NEAR as many people will be reading it (and therefore possibly providing help).

I would certainly think that most people browse the desired section of the forum starting with the first page and working backward. Does this make too much sense?

An accepted “quirk”, or are you investigating it?

Again: Have you considered using different software?

I thought that was the intent of these forums…support…answers to problems people are having.

How does this problem differ from any other problem posted in this forum that would cause you to basically tell me to go cry to someone else?

Please instruct me as to how to properly send a comment to Cyberlink.

Yes; it “might”, but the recent topics includes all the other forums and no apparent way to filter them out. For example; I am not at all concerned with any of the other sections. Having to wade through topics posted in other forums is a waste of time.

I was not at all aware you were waiting so anxiously!!!

Actually, I read the reply and (although not at all happy about it), did not have time respond as I have had a serious family crisis that has been taking up just about all of my time.

I jumped on last night (having just a bit of time to do so), and noticed someone else with the same problem had JUST posted about it and it reminded me of your lame answer to the problem.

Isn't this the wrong thread to be posting this in.

The purpose of this thread was to discuss posts not showing up.

It has NOTHING to do with MP4's.

Please post in the appropriate forum!!!

Could we get a moderator to move this post please?

Hi Dafydd,

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to agree with Daniel in every point that he has made in this thread. I have never seen similar behaviour in any other forum in my life, this is unacceptable and people MAY think that Cyberlink is trying to hide something.

I do understand that maybe this is not your responsability or it's not in your absolute power to fix it, but I think there is condescendence in your answer.

Respectfully,

Juan

Juan,

I have answered this issue many times. I agree with it not being acceptable. I have made that point to CL. This forum is interwoven with the main site.

I have blocked this posting - basically it's getting nowhere.
