Where have all the threads gone?

Max, is it the fact that you guys were off line for a while responsible for the short list of threads? Even when I set 3 days in the age box, I still get only a bit more than one page of threads, all of them dated today, although I recognize most of them from before your crash. I'm gonna try 7 days and see if that gets me a couple that I was following over the weekend. --seed

7 days should do the trick, Seed. Max set the default at one day so it wouldn't take so long to load the threads. Of course, all the threads disappeared since we were down for two days. Max blames it on The Phone Company, and I can't think of a better scapegoat.
If you want to see a longer list of threads, set the filter at more days. You can avoid having to reset the filter if you use the "back" icon on your browser (or "backspace" key on your keyboard). Of course, if you post a message, you get a 3-day list of messages and you have to reset the filter if you want more.
Nice to be back, isn't it?

Yes it is, we miss you when you're down.

We got a good lesson this week which will prompt us to get a better backup plan. This means that theoretically speaking, this will not happen again.

A debugged program, it's been said, is one in which all the bugs are as yet undiscovered.

I tried three, and I tried seven, and all the messages are dated today. There's a longer list, now, but that's because the Mudcat has been back on line longer, I guess. And yes, Joe, it is great to be back on and back in touch with you and Art and Roger and everyone else. I've missed all of you. --seed

One other thing I've wondered about: why do I have to keep clicking on Show Threads? After a few seconds of scanning the titles, I often find they all disappear and I'm back at the top, staring at the Show Threads box? Is this in my computer, or is it in Mudcat? --seed

Where have all the comments gone?
Long time passing....
Where have all the comments gone?
Long time ago...
Where are all the quips and song?
Gone, oh lord, but not for long!

Oh, yea, we missed them so!
Thanks, Max, we been so low!

Where are all the pedants gone?
Long time passing...
Where are all the pedants gone?
Long time ago...
Where's my muse, my bud, my bro?
Hangin' in, like me, I know!

The comfort has returned!
The candles softly burn...

Feel free to improve. Must thieve; have no talent of my own.

Dunno, Seed. I think you must be doing something wrong. If I go to the forum menu and set the filter for just 14 days and hit "show threads," I get a long, long list of threads that takes a long, long time to display. Maybe you're using that darn Netscape. Throw it away and get a real browser.
