. . . to archives? Last night I saw a topic I wanted to come back to and read. Today when I looked for it, it’s no longer there, on either of the two pages. The earliest thread was posted yesterday evening, and obviously the one I saw had been posted before that. I don’t remember enough of the title to search very well, but I tried, and got a “Website Not Responding” message.

Is there any way I can see posts from say, two days ago?

Thanks for any help. This is _such_ a great site!

At the bottom right of the thread index, there’s a drop-down that allows you to choose how far back you want to show threads in that view; I think it is set to a frew days by default, but if you change it to something longer, then click ‘go’, you’ll find you can go further back (one page at a time).

Was that what you needed, **Miz**?

Exactly! And it was there all the time, right? :smack:

Thank you,
