ChrLzs Posted September 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Used to be able to look at members sorted by their post count... but now, I go to Activity, Search, Member Search, run the initial search, and the list appears in alpha order. OK so far.. But then if I use the dropdown to resort by Post Count, Reputation, etc, it just pauses for a second or two, then goes back to the previous page....? Is it just me? Added info - I noticed that if I do same as above to get the alpha list and then just try to go to page 2, it does exactly the same - just drops back to previous page. No error messages, just refuses to work.. Edited September 6, 2019 by ChrLzs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted September 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I've just tried it and can confirm that it doesn't work. Unfortunately this is one that Invision will need to fix in a future patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Magnus Posted September 6, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2019 With the search function in general, I used to have the problem of the error coming up to wait 3 more seconds or more to research even if I waited about 30 seconds inbetween searches. I'm not sure if it was because of a slower connection or not. I would just give up searching half the time because the error wouldn't go away, and I think it might have gave increments increasing over 3 seconds with each attempt. I just checked it however, and it's not doing it now. Might have been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's flood control, it prevents the database being overwhelmed by a rapid succession of search operations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenHawk Posted October 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Post Count workaround: 1) From “Search the Community”, select the Member Search bar. 2) Enter “post count” into the search field. (it can be anything as the point is to get a ‘0 results’ in response (fewer results the better)). 3) Select ‘Post Count’ from “Sort By” (bottom right). 4) Clear search field and hit Enter (you get a different result if you hit "Search Again"). 5) Voilà. Note: it seems that if you try to zip through the process too quickly, it doesn't always work. Edited October 21, 2019 by RavenHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
