Why search? If you find that the article has already been posted, you'll just feel disappointed.
Besides, you can always make it a new post by adding a comic strip to it, just to be safe.

Oh, that makes it tougher, especially if you didn't post a comic on the thread. I see your point.
Just to be safe, though, always post a cartoon.

3. At the bottom of the page COPY the link location and post in the browser. Scroll to the end of the link and you will see x=50. Change that to x=20 and click go. The difference between entering x=50 and x=20 brings up the thirty missing articles.
4. For each subsequent page, repeat step 3, but add twenty, i.e. x=40, x=60 etc. and you will get all the missing articles.This remedy is good for both "quick" and "archive" (or "deep") searches.

You know what I really hate?
Getting a bug in a sock.
It starts squirming around your foot and you can feel its little legs and antennae...until you squish it.
Then it's all gushy....
I really hate it when that happens.

I would think this is a very easy fix... both the "Next Batch" link code and the search find code should use the user's profile preference settings (# of articles) if available or default to the same number.

Whenever I post something after the third or fourth Bourbon, and then go back and review it the next day... it reads like it was written by a twelve-year-old. But it was brilliantly put the night before. Clearly something is wrong there. Anybody else notice this? That's really weird...I've had the exact same thing happen...except it happens with Belvedere vodka instead of Bourbon.
I always thought maybe there was something wrong with my computer.

Maybe, I'm not a programmer. I've known for a long time about missing articles and finally just decided to see if I could figure out how to access them. Changing the number x = n on the address bar for page 2 and subsequent search pages was the way to make it work. Thought others might be interested, too.

LOL - they've been fishing in those lakes since at least 2004. I remember chatting with soldiers fishing out of the lake at Al Faw Palace, Camp Victory and also in the big lake on Camp Slayer nearby.
They used to talk about some of the weird looking fish they'd catch. I used to tell them to send pictures to outdoors magazines like "Field and Stream." Don't know if any of them ever did.

It’s lots worse when you get a bug in your swimsuit. It feels really weird when it crawls around.

I don’t know about Self-Appointed Posting Police.
But earlier I was selected as the Self Appointed Keyword Police. So please feel free to ping me if inappropriate keywords pop up.

thanks for the info...I’ve never noticed it before but it seems like it would be easily fixable and would certainly cut down on all the multiple postings of the same articles.
To: CedarDave
I’m going to ask a slightly related question about FR instead of posting my own vanity, which I am loathe to do.
This morning I do not have a MESSAGE VIEW when on the BROWSE page. All I have is a THREAD VIEW, and oh, baby, I AM logged in!
In fact, there is no THREAD VIEW/MESSAGE VIEW option when on the browse page. It used to be directly under the
Home | Forum | Pings | Mail | More ...
band at the top right of the page but is not there this morning.
What gives?

In fact, without a MESSAGE VIEW, how will anyone besides you or someone who happens upon this thread ever know I just posted my question?
