[QUOTE="woodelf, post: 1641742, member: 10201"] If i could find them--most of them were long-since-dead threads. I think i'll stop using the subscriptions to bookmark interesting threads for future reference, and rely on Mozilla's bookmarks, instead. At least until you figure out what happened--if you don't know what happened, you can't know it won't happen again. Problem is, Mozilla doesn't always save new bookmarks until it quits, so if it crashes, i lose all new additions. Which wouldn't be so bad except that my system and Mozilla are generally stable enough that i can have the webbrowser open for days, or even weeks, at a time, and i forget that the bookmarks i've added in the last few hours can get lost. And it's really annoying to have to restart Mozilla periodically, just in case it might crash. Anyway, chalk this up as another problem with web-based BBSes vs. a decent interface. Damn, i miss UseNet. Plus, Google and other off-site sources backup UseNet, so we're not dependent on one server. Oh well, i seem to be outvoted by the Internet-using public. As for using the backup subscription table: i'm all for it. I'd much rather loose all my subscriptions of, say, the last week, than the older ones. The new ones can be trivially re-added, the old ones will be virtually impossible to resubscribe to (i'd first have to remember what they were on, before i could even usefully do a search). [/QUOTE]
