Actually, just to be clear, I believe that you're getting this. SanDiego1K, only because you're a Moderator.
Others do not retreive these older posts at all. I, for example, get nothing!

Don't you have the ability normally to search for new posts? I didn't think that was a moderator only capability.
I logged off FT at 10:11pm last night. I was able to get onto FT about 8am (California time) this morning. I then ran "new posts". I get the posts from 10:11pm to 11:13pm, during which time there were 95 new posts. I continue to get only that window of time and those posts if I check for new posts.

Usually yes, but not today unfortunately!

I believe the tech guys are working on it as we "speak!"

Soon we'll be as good as new, I expect.

We had a table corrupt and it put out of synch the search database and the posting database. Looks like it will take 2 hours of downtime to re-synch and correct - we're just thinking of the best time to put FT down for two hours. Very sorry. Thank you.
