Notice - Old threads temporarily locked

[John Robinson]

Threads posted prior to 9/4/01 are temporarily locked.

These threads use older technology which has yet to be fully integrated with the new system. In the meantime, to carry-over such threads into the new system, posters will be required to repost the article. Sorry for the inconvenience.

To answer your question, hopefully not long. A week?

Or, maybe 2-3 years? :-)

[Not A Snowbird]

Just don't lock the Undead Thread, and I'll be fine.

[John Robinson]

Or never. :-( It ended up being a bigger job than I anticipated, for little benefit. The more time passes, the less useful this is.

We're never going to be able to post to these threads as-is like before. That just isn't feasible. They'd have to be inserted into the database... somehow.

[Texas2step]

Understood. I was hoping to bump a few Election 2000 threads to the top, like we do the 9/11 threads on occassion. I can certainly understand that the job is bigger than the benefit, and I know that there are bigger fish out there.

Once upon a time we could access old articles and post our comments.

Any news on older threads being unlocked?
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes I dream, and when I do I dream that we can use these threads like in the old days. :-)

Hugs to you and yours John.

Roughly how long is "temporarily locked"?

About 4 years.

A day to the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.

PLEASE

Thank you for the warning. That really helps.
There are dozens of classics in the archives that are useful to post from time to time to give the newer members a chance to benefit from the 10-year FR experience.

I would urge the updating of older threads as soon as possible.

But it's really nice to know that being unable to find an old useful thread is not due to something we're doing wrong.

[Publius6961]

Can't do that. That would be multiple posting of the same article and the posting police will swarm in and say: "Already posted here, here and here" < /sarcasm >

I've decided to ignore those pathetic losers except for the following standard response:

It may have been posted before, but I failed to see it, and I'm the center of the universe!

Didn't you get the memo?

Good Great tag line!
