  Oh fer fun I kept hitting "older topics" link at the bottom of the page and made it all the way back to I think last June. Tried to post a new entry to an old topic from then and discovered Founder has limited the fun to newer material. I guess if it's 4 or 6 weeks or older it's no longer open to new posts.

  I usually read thru the past 10-15 whenever I visit the site. This discussion barely made the cut.

  I would add to the older topics if I could. Would be nice to be able to bump them to the top when some of the same questions show up over and over. But I don't really read past the first couple of pages since I don't post much.

  During the week I check this topic list once per day. So however many topics have received updates in the past 24 hrs. Typical is probably 10-15 topics.
  
  The display is of the most recent 25 topics. It is very rare that more than 25 topics have been updated in a 24 hr period.

  I usually try to start where I left off last. I have yet to go to the third page to do that, though.

  It would be really helpful if the site kept track of the last time you were logged in and highlighted the discussion threads that had activity since the last time you were here. That way you could just scan the titles and look for the "New" flag. Would be a great help.
  
  Founder? Any hope on this one?

  I just bookmark whatever threads I comment in or would like to follow until they become too old to comment in anymore.

  I usually stick to the first page unless I want to check on a topic I posted in earlier that is no longer on that page (or any Dick Johnson post). Unfortunately, I seem to be a thread killer, since many of the topics that end up dying out have one of mine as the last post. If I wasn't so confident about my nerdy, vapid charm; muddled, obscure insights; and primitive, Neanderthal wit, I might develop a complex about a thing like that!

  Ok, that's two DoctorDarby posts - thread officially killed. Founder, please wrap this baby up and put it in the "older 25 posts" where it belongs.

  DD, I'm surprised Steve didn't ask for the right to sell your organs...

  Funny you should say that, when I woke up from a particularly rough night of clubbing the other day I was missing my keys, wallet, spleen, and one of my kidneys.
  
  NOW this thread is officially a dead parrot! It's deceased . . . no longer living . . . categorically non-functional, etc.

  I seldom post to topics that aren't still on the first page, but the NEW TUSCL format only has 10 per page...I thought the previous version had more. Maybe I'll have to get into the 2nd page if I'm away for more than a day.

  I'll go back a few pages to find one that I had posted on. One can't be too careful with Clubber about. :)
