Re:Archives....how they work now

[Guest guest]

Hi June,

I do know what you mean, I didn't until you posted this, but I just

spent 1/2 hour trying to figure it out, searching the onelist pages, had no

luck. I know if I write them they will only send me one of those robot

messages that will only refer me back to the help pages. It seems that they

are now grouping the archives by MONTH. Unfortunately the posts start at

the beginning of the month, so if you want to get to the end, you have to

keep hitting the inner arrow to get to the next group (the outer arrow takes

you to the very end or the very beginning), this would not be too bad, only

it takes so darn long for the pages to load. Those 5 digit numbers you see

are the actual number of posts archived since we started Lyme-aid back in

1998.

At the top of the archives there are links that say, view by date, or view

by thread, I was hoping the thread link meant you could go to digest by

numbers, but it doesn't. It is responses to a single subject and can be any

date.

I am sorry they switched the archives like this, the only good thing

about it, is the search function works better. I am afraid you are going to

have to keep hitting that inner arrow pointing to the right, to get to the

last list of messages, and then read them by date. I would suggest in order

to find the posts for your digest #1073, click on the outer arrow which will

take you to the very last post recorded which at this time is #20477, then

read backwards till you find the date of archive #1073 (whatever date it

is). Each post is a blue link and has to be clicked so it would be near

impossible for me to find and post each one and send to you in a link. I

will write Lyme-aid and ask them to correlate the digest #'s with the

archives again, this is just too confusing. Sorry, not much help now. I am

posting this to our list so they can get the explanation on how to read the

archives too.

Hugs,

Marta
