PALE, I would be very surprised if the AMIEU had a website 40 years ago, and even more surprised if Stephen Conroy had anything to do with changing it. Paranoia rising again.

"That was an otherwise good post, even if I do say so myself - what a pity it was about a non-event."

Ah, Forrest, LOL. Yes, it was a great post, I agree. As was your Prince Valium post a few pages back, even though I fear it was completely lost on the good Prince Valium himself!

Regarding the non-event that you thought for a moment was indeed a major event, I fear dear Forrest that's what happens when you try to 'dull the constant nagging pain of boredom' and swig too much 'Camel laudanum from the silver flask'!

Well, you certainly jolted James out of any boredom he may have been feeling at that particular moment! :)

For the record, I just posted post number 200 on this thread at around 12:23am, and while it was recorded on the General discussion Index, the post itself hasn't appeared here on the thread. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Don't feel too bad, Forrst, I jumped to a similar conclusion some time back and emailed graham. He wasn't best pleased...

I'm not sure if there's any real benefit to limiting the timeframe of the index. Perhaps Graham et al could look into removing that filter?

Yea, and verily Bronwyn, it is not just you. I too have noticed this phenomenon. After yesterday's little debacle over the 'missing threads', however, I was reluctant to post feedback. You know, damaged credibility, persona non grata, and all that.

What this phenomenon may indicate is that moderator vetting of posts before publication can now theoretically be done on OLO. Perhaps they are just trialling the software that may allow this. Hopefully this may be a first step toward the re-opening of archived threads to moderator-vetted posts. Some threads, particularly those on which a fair bit of background research may be required before constructive participation is possible, are such that responses may be quite delayed, but nevertheless most illuminating. I hope the present curious behaviour is a harbinger of this.

The index pages did concurrently with the non-display of posts in the thread display the fact of a post having been made to an article or topic, and the post-recency flag gave an indication as to when the last as-then-yet-undisplayed post had been made. I took screenshots just to be sure, and if anyone is prepared to accept the date and time displayed on my screen in those screenshots, then this aspect of the site's behaviour can be proven.

I also noted that the 'new post' button etc was not displaying at the bottom of pages, and that ads were seemingly not loading up, while these posts were backed-up undisplayed.

GrahamY gave a reason in April 2008 for closing archived threads to new posts here: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=1649#31803 . I had bitched about it.

The paranoiayet, again is yours.
Its a pity you didnt, check the
sites before making a goose out
of yourself, yet again.

Click on WA and tell me if you see
what you used to PAACT them
working on live exports.
GONE

Then check out all the other
sites State by State.
GONE

I dont know if your were
even familar with their sites
over the last ten years.
( Probably not, those terrible meat people)

What I said was there`s forty
years of 'history' gone.
Yes I am sure it can be
found in arcives libaray but
thats hardely the point.

Tom never used a computer.
Like me hates them suites too.
That doesnt mean there were not
plenty of documents addressing live
exports written by him.
GONE

Russle Carr had so many
it filled up a whole site
GONE

The thruth is they were
ordered to back off live exports.

FACT some time ago.

We saw two Federal Leaders resign shortlty after that.
Learn from it. Now go look at the web sites.
Thats IF you ever knew how they used to be.

If you dont then you wont notice anything- as usual.
I would have thought your
pro labour friend might
have told you that
