It's 14.46pm and pressing the last 12 or 24 hour link only shows posts from 9.49 onwards this morning.

Any particular reason/benefit for doing this? IMHO it makes the site more dificult to use.

Agree that at 200 posts it makes the site more difficult to use, at the moment I can only currently see back to 13:30 ish today.
As an example I wanted to look at thread that had links/video I noted at work this morning, but for obvious reasons didn't want to access from there, but can't find it now, any chance of making the buttons show an actual 24/72 hour as it says on the tin/button Ted .
Another example is I quiet often have weekends away and catch up with a 72 hours of back posts on my return, can't do that now .

The limit was put in to prevent the page becoming too long and taking an age to download. I've increased it to 500.

Genius hat on here Ted,

Why not split the Looooooooong 24/72 hr page into multiple pages?

That way, the page is quick to download and if you need to browse back further you can do?!

Just a thought...

Doh... it's the obvious ones that get missed sometimes

I shall do that. It will need a bit of work as with the speed of updates, it would be possible to miss some threads as paging is implemented, but I'm sure I can find a solution to that.
