Playing around with this lead me to the following nifty discovery (which I should have known you'd do, since you understand the "principle of least surprise") I can manipulate the numbers as I wish! If I go up to the URL box and change http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.admin.general:300-349 to: http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.admin.general:200-349 I see more articles!!! and if I change it to: http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.admin.general:349-300 they're in the other order!!! Thank you for handling this in an unsurprising manner. -Lar ======== Posted via the LUGNET discussion group web interface ======== http://www.lugnet.com/news/ Search, Read, Post, or Watch Traffic
