in reply to Make posts in Newest Nodes show longer?

These are the settings for Newest Nodes (linked above) Newest Nodes Settings

As far as I understand the description you only see the last 24h if you [Clear my 'last checked' time]

Otherwise you should see all of them since your last click [I've checked all of these]

DISCLAIMER: I prefer RAT so no guaranty. And RAT has more options, I think you can even make it look like newest nodes.

EDIT

I looked into the form to set the days, thankfully PM is very flexible ... :)

Try using this as a workaround ?node_id=3628&numdays=3 ;-)

(only works after [Clear my 'last checked' time])

    From my experience, you can configure many things, but nodes older than certain threshold aren't shown in either Newest Nodes nor RAT (happened to me several times when I was offline for a week). Probably protecting the database from too resource intensive queries.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      FWIW: my workaround works up to 14 days in both NN and RAT.

      RAT has also a kind of "time machine" to move to an older date with

        I remember trying the time machine, but it worked differently to what I'd expect. Next time I'm offline for an extended period of time I'll experiment with the settings more.
