A Query for Ed

[lilsecret]

Afternoon Ed. This thread is still active

http://www.theanswerb...s/Question920417.html

yet does not show up in the Crossword category. Also posts do not appear on Latest Posts window.

Any ideas?.

Is that the right link? That thread has many answers and is not a Crosswords question anyway.
Latest Posts window only shows recent responses to recent threads- if you respond to a post that is doemant (e.g. if not been responded to for a few weeks) your response won't appear on the latest posts thread. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

Hi factor30. Thanks. I take your point. However it is the correct link and I agree not a Crossword question. But strangely when you click on the link it highlights Crossword category down the left hand side of page.

Regarding a dormant thread, that particular one was started shortly before midday today, and as I said, any replies still do not appear in the latest Post window.

I didn't know that factor - I have replied to a few-day-old thread sometimes and my reply has been in Latest Posts for a few minutes, I could be almost sure of that?

It didn't start today- it started on 25th July!

factor30 . . . .

W-O-W so it did! My apologies.

It seems that once a thread is more than a few weeks old it doesn't appear in the latest posts thread however many people post on it.

Yep, a thread is stale at the 30 days mark!
