I usually use the "since I last checked" option to get up to date. I realized that I wasn't seeing all the new messages sometimes. This seems to be because there is a limit on the search results at 200, and it doesn't take too long for 200 new posts to appear. When I search again, I've missed everything from the 200th post onward...

Can I put in a request for one of:
- An increased limit
- An option to increase the limit
- A "page forward for more results" button
- Some mechanic where a second search will provide all the posts that the first one missed. (sort by date and then update the "I last searched at" flag (cookie?) to the timestamp of the 200th message.

Thanks,
Phil

Hey Dave- Also, I like to use the "Last Day" option, that way I can see everything that's active and who is posting at a glance. But lately it is taking forever. Any way to make it faster? Thanks.

Ffof, if you can convince barleyrooty not to up the results limit to more than 200 it can be kept at the same slow speed. :-)

Actually, I think we probably need to add more RAM again.
