Re^2: How do you track nodes/replies of interest? (CSS for RAT and NN)

G'day Rolf,

[Note: This is not intended as a specific reply to you; it's more general information for universal consumption. This just looked like a good place to post it.]

"... does RAT have a max time window ..."

For "Newest Nodes":

The default period is 24 hours.
There is a dropdown list allowing the selection of the last 1 to 14 days.
For 1 to 7 days, you'll see all new posts under their sections (SoPW, Meditations, etc.) followed by a "Notes" section which lists all replies, to any OPs, in that period.
For 8 to 14 days, new posts are displayed the same; however, the "Notes" section now just shows: Skipping huge list of notes. So that limits checking on replies older than a week.

See also: "Newest Nodes Settings" for some finer grained control over what is displayed.

[Disclaimer: This information is based on over a decade's worth of personal, empirical evidence. I believe it to be correct but, as I'm not a member of the pmdev cabal, I can't guarantee it. I'm more than happy to be corrected on any of this.]

— Ken

Hi I remember a similar discussion when choroba (thankfully) came back from longer (CoViD related) offline-ness and tried to check on older discussions. > Skipping huge list of notes IIRC, this skipping depends on the number of nodes, not the time frame. Well as PMDev I could check the code, but I'm quite busy right now.

I rarely need to go back a week or more; it happens occasionally due to travelling, illness or similar. What I described is in line with what I've always seen. Before posting, I did check it: up to 7 days gave all "Notes"; 8 gave "skipping huge list". The disclaimer merely reflects my inability to provide absolute, factual evidence. It also indicates that I considered the possibility of a "`$note_count > $huge_count`" condition. I'm still happy to be corrected on this. :-) — Ken	[reply] [d/l]
