I have a question...is there a limit to the number of threads you can track? For some reason, there are threads that keep falling off of my tracking list. Why would that happen?

I haven't seen any update on this original question. I let it lie for quite a while here, but it's still an open question to me. It seems like after a period of time that all of my tracked threads disappear. Can anyone with insight into how the thread tracking code works comment?

It's a core-feature that deletes all tracked threads after a period of time (14 days).

If you look at ../themes/templates/footer.php you'll see this at the bottom:

Code Download source

echo "</body>\n</html>\n";

if (iADMIN) {
   $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_FLOOD_CONTROL." WHERE flood_timestamp < '".(time()-360)."'");
   $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_THREAD_NOTIFY." WHERE notify_datestamp < '".(time()-1209600)."'");
   $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_CAPTCHA." WHERE captcha_datestamp < '".(time()-360)."'");
   $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_NEW_USERS." WHERE user_datestamp < '".(time()-86400)."'");
}

This is the line responsible for this function:

Code Download source

$result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_THREAD_NOTIFY." WHERE notify_datestamp < '".(time()-1209600)."'");

You could modify so that the treads stays tracked longer by changing -1209600 to something bigger, like -2419200 (I.e 28 days).

I would not recommend removing this line all toghether, as the tracked threads table would grow very big on sites with an active forum.

Hope this clear things up a bit.

Another quick observation: I was tracking this thread, but my thread tracking disappeared after a while. It is as if there is a time limit to a tracked thread and it falls of the list after a predetermined amount of time.

It depends on the volume of forum traffic, on a big site you'd be drowned in emails.
But, I get your point. For some it would be a handy mod. B)

I disagree with your disagreement. :P

I moderate on other another forum that has that feature and it makes it much easier to keep track of what is going on in one place.

That would be very nice for moderators.

I disagree, that would be a pain in the *ss for moderators :o

Has anyone seen an infusion that allows you to subscribe to an entire forum and not just individual threads? That would be very nice for moderators.

I agree, I have noticed this too.

Exactly...I'm not sure how it would happen.

Digi? :)

I have noticed that before. Though, I can't explain why it would happen as each thread tracked is a separate entry in the thread_notify table. So, something must be deleting the entries.
There may be a glitch.
