MM,

The daily thread list's default setting is to show everything that has been posted to in the last 24 hours. To find an older thread is easy, and there are three ways. (More, but three for now.)

Easiest is making a bookmark.

Next is using the "filter box" described in our FAQ thread to change the time period setting-- you might go see it now, so you will know where to look on a later visit.

Best is joining Mudcat, and then (as you will see described in the FAQ thread) you get a personal page within the site for exchanging messages with other members and "TRACING" the threads you want to keep an eye on. Once you join, click "Trace" in the thread list (see that far right column in the thread list?) and this puts a link to that thread on your personal page till you Detrace it. Then you can click to that thread anytime, from your personal page. Once you join, you get to your personal page via the link up in the banner to Personal Pages.

Hope you join-- it's a great place and you seem like just the sort to be part of all this. Great info you posted.

Holler if you get lost at Mudcat! And check out the FAQ-- it's a lot to absorb at once, but it does sink in faster than you'd suspect it could. In a month you'll be the veteran extending help to another newcomer!
