I fear that all posts that have not reappeared by now, are gone for good cheers viggen

..inside topics date and time should now working as intended too.. cheers and thanks for feedback.. viggen

That's the one I meant. It's the only button I ever use really, don't have a clue how I should navigate the fora now. Looks like you actually need to go into the folders to see new posts? (unless you check in every day and use 'today's active topics'). At the bottom is Todays Active Content click on it and then you see the Active Content of the last 24 hours, when you are there go to the bottom there you can change in a drop down box from 24 hours to week, 2 weeks up to a year, hope that helps... cheers viggen

Cleopatra, fabled final Queen of Egypt, packed a pretty mean pearl cocktail, according to legend. To win a bet, the story goes, Cleopatra quaffed a vinegar martini made with a dissolved pearl, "the largest in the whole of history," according to an ancient scribe. Doubted by scholars for centuries, Cleopatra's canny chemistry trick may have actually come off, suggests one researcher, based on her own experiments. "There's usually a kernel of truth in these stories," says classicist Prudence Jones of Montclair (N.J.) State University.... ...read the full article at USA Today
