Version: 7.2.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: sv-SE (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded Tip of the day was intentionally left "active" following a recent update to 7.2.1.2 It never gets past tip 23. I have no idea for how long this has been occurring as I usually turn them off. I'm now curious as to what the remaining 200 tips contain ;)). Also, the version selection box above stops with 7.2.1.1rc in this release series.
Not reproducible in Version: 7.2.0.4 (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9a9c6381e3f7a62afc1329bd359cc48accb6435b CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: es-ES Calc: threaded To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

Please change it back to > 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present Now in Version: 7.2.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: sv-SE (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded Started in safe mode and the tip of the day reverted to number 1 with the startup hint that it's a first-time use............ Perhaps tomorrow's startup will offer an alternate tip, 2 or 25 anybody's guess. If it offers tip 2 I'll let you know what happens on October 24th 😎 If there's a way to keep my profile and all the user sort lists and just reset the tip counter then perhaps you could advise. Note, I have been using LO for more than 24 days - I imagine that's when I upgraded to 7.2.0.4 (I think from R6) and the upgrade killed my profile so I had to rebuild it the hard way. Recently updated to the current 7.2.1.2. Perhaps you could review which upgrade increments automatically reset the user profile because I think it resets between major releases 5. 6. 7. etc but it may be 7.0 to 7.1 to 7.2. I've heard rumours that upgrades don't (shouldn't) slug the profile but it's happened to me on numerous occasions so I can state quite categorically - it does, and regularly introduces "new" user sort lists because I can't speak Hebrew but somehow got their calendar. Changing status back to 'UNCONFIRMED' on the assumption tomorrow gets me tip 24
In the expert options (tools > options > advanced > expert options), search for "tipoftheday". The entry LastTipOfTheDayID is the number of tip (22 in your case). More interesting is LastTipOfTheDayShow, which is compared with the current datetime showing the dialog after a day. Change the value to zero and check your system time.

(In reply to Colin from comment #4) > Change the tip number to zero or the datetime to zero? The LastTipOfTheDayShow (should be a value like 18900). NEEDINFO for the report if this helped (and please remember to check your system time).
Created attachment 175419 [details] screen dump I assume you were implying the tip of the day number which I have now reset to 0 Further update in 23 days time

(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #7) > (In reply to Colin from comment #6) > > keeping to NEEDINFO meanwhile Yeah, on reflection, I guess that makes more sense 🤦♂️
yep
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #9) > yep That's unexpected. Fresh start this morning with tip of the day 24. Resetting the tip number to zero doesn't appear to survive a shutdown. Tomorrow, I will try confirming jump to next tip a couple of times and see what happens on Sunday. It may also prove appropriate to change the counter to something higher and see what happens. At the end of the day, I could always change my mind and not bother with tips 🤷♂️ Leaving the status as NEEDINFO seems somehow appropriate.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Confirming that tips don't progress anymore in v7.2 and 7.3. No idea why but I will look into it.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #12) > Confirming that tips don't progress anymore in v7.2 and 7.3. No idea why but > I will look into it. My latest tests show that manually viewing "next tip" still sticks at whatever was the latest viewed tip. I have just advanced the tipoftheday parameter manually to 30 but won't know until tomorrow whether this has any impact. Will advise.
