I've added some people to "My Stuff" "Watch List", "Watched Users". The list of their posts comes up, but when I click on the topic listed, I get the error "File Not Found".

Am I doing something wrong, or is my account screwed up?
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

Dunno about those, i just save peoples names and use view posts.
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

I logged out and then in again. Still didn't work. I then cleared "expired" all cookies and logged in again. When I clicked on the topic I wanted to see, this is the error that I got:

File not found: scripts/show.inc.php

Any other ideas?
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

Mine does the same thing. I can save them under watched threads but if I click to view thread I get the same message. In addition one computer at work will not allow me to log on to SH at all. Only web site it does it with though. Kind of strange.
If someone has an answer I would love to hear it.

Re: Can't access watched list???

A friend showed me how to get around this...Go to My Stuff.

Click on Watch Lists

Click on Watched Users

Click on Authors

Click on Show Users Posts

It will get you there. Just a little longer way around.

Sorry for gravedigging an old thread, but did anyone ever solve this problem? It's a bummer ....

Re: Can't access watched list???

I just added RobW to my watch list and it worked fine for viewing his posts. Give us some more information.

Browser and version.
Operating System.
Last time you shut down.
Have you cleared you cache AND cookies as well as restarting your browser afterwards?

Let us know. That would help the site admins a lot.
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

None of my watched lists work - users, topics, forums all give the same error message.

IE8 32 bit or 64 bit, same error.
Win 7/64
Shutdown not relevant, before/after same issue.
Cache and cookies cleared every restart.

For now, I've started tagging anything I'd like to follow, but that seems a bit wasteful of board resources.
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

Internet Explorer does not process this site correctly at all... it will work, not work, work, not work with no logical rhyme or reason.

The producers of UBB Threads are aware of it, I have added any and all additions to correct this, however it is still a known issue.

Hopefully once V8 is out, they say by the new year, this problem will be solved. But 75% of all errors encountered on here can be attributed to Internet Explorer, another 25% operator error.

I recommend using Firefox or Chrome for a better experience, if you find the same problems after the change, let us know.
 
Re: Can't access watched list???

Thanks for the follow-up LL. Unfortunately, I've installed Firefox 3.6 to no effect. Well, the site is prettier, but watch lists still don't work (any of them). Gave it the ol' college try and all ....
