I've noticed for the last few versions of Symbiostock that there is a bug when browsing through pages of Categories and Search Results. Images on page 1 of the results often show up again on pages 2, 3, etc, while some images simply get skipped.

I may be wrong, but it appears to me that a random number is being applied to the results to give customers a slightly different sort each time they search. That's good. But I think the randomness is being applied on each page, rather than created once per visit. This would cause some images to show up multiple times as the random number changes its search/category position, and others to be skipped.

If this is the case, my suggestion is to apply the random seeding at the initial category or search query, and not per page. If this is too difficult, maybe drop it altogether? Either way, it looks bad to see the same images popping up on multiple pages.

I noticed that as well although I don't know exactly when this "bug" started.

If I have more than 20 search results for a certain keyword and I go to page 2, I will see some images from the first search results page again.
Might be confusing for buyers.

If I am not mistaken, I believe it arrived at the time of the Image Rank and Rating implementation (2.4.8 or 2.4.9?). I think the randomness is a good idea if it can be made to work once per query. But if not, just kill it. I agree it is confusing for buyers.

I have also noticed this, but haven't had time to look into it.

Agree with Dan, I said it from the beginning, I dont like how the images are displayed randomly. We need to have a newest and a random filter if possible.

Someone posted a code how to change it to newest again, but I cant find that code here now. I really want to have newest search back as the random display is not working for me.

This is new for me! I never noticed randomness. I'm making improvements to the base theme so thanks for mentioning.

I was showing someone my site and noticed the same bug. It is constantly there, no matter what browser or category I am looking at.

Hopefully this one can get ironed out as it was really off-putting to browse through pages and see the same images repeated.

I implemented the code change, and my images are displayed in chronological order again, really like that.

Ron, what is "the code change" that you implemented? Where did you get it?

I don't see it mentioned in this thread. Is it mentioned somewhere else?

Thanks!

Ron

Is this just related to 2.5.5 because I don't think I see it in 2.6.

2.6.

2.6  ???

I thought that the latest public version was 2.5.6

My bad.  I keep getting my numbers mixed up WP 3.6 and SY 2.5.6.

2.6.

2.6  ???

I thought that the latest public version was 2.5.6

So is that code only for 2.5.6 or is it for 2.5.5?

I was wondering that too. I've upgraded to 2.5.6 and also to WP 3.6... all without incident.

So am I right in thinking this code actually doesn't 'fix' the bug as such, but just removes the image ranking system from showing up in the sort order?

I just upgraded to what I think is 2.5.6 (link posted by redneck in other thread) but the Details tab in Theme says 2.5.5. So not sure if I have 2.5.5 or 2.5.6. Is there another way to tell?

But I added the code from Ron's link to network-manager.php and the sort order remains ASC not DESC.

I have added the code in 2.5.5, and it is not changing my sort order. I am trying to upgrade to 2.5.6 and see if it works there.

Do I need to change anything in the dashboard or SY settings in the dashboard? Hmm, wonder why it's not working.

I Just edited the code and that was it. I used the blue host file editor to do it. I did use the original code and didnt change anything from DESC to ASC, all my images are GREEN and priority 2.
