Index of Subjects
Index of Subjects Good morning, all. I certainly agree that the archive is useful. About the search capabilities - I can see how to search on text in the subject line, but I'm not so sure about a way to follow threads easily. I expect we would have to be able to sort the list for that. However, one very useful feature is the ability to find out the year and month of any post, and a sequential number, just by allowing your mouse to hover over the lines of the archive page and watching the URLs appear at the bottom of your browser window. This tells me, for instance, that the first post in the archive was in March 2006: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200603/1.html and that the most recent one (before mine) is #7778: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200708/7778.html With what will surely be an expanding archive, this makes it fairly easy to locate a post from a certain month. Well done, Doug. Bob Lindsay Dartmouth Doug Linzey wrote: > I've just received another query about an archive for NatureNS posts. > We've been running a test archive for a while now.
