And if you want to have threads hang around on your screen for more than 24 hours, just scroll up to the box at the top that says "AGE", next to "Filter", and adjust it to 3 days, or whtever longer period you fancy.
And if there's a thread that you like, you can always put a tracer on it, and it's easy to bring it up again any time you want to return to the subject, rather than starting a new thread if that isn't needed.
This Mudcat has all kind of magic possibilities that very few of us have really worked out properly. You can weave together threads, bring them back from the dead, put in links to old ones which might encourage other people to explore them and add to them, put in links to other websites...
Much more fun than complaining about how people keep on posting to threads you don't want to conbtribute to, and don't have to read.
