I can't seem to toggle the "newest first" "oldest first" widget in the supersearch form (tried IE 5 and Mozilla 1.1 on windows). it's stuck on "oldest first" which seems like an odd default anyway. A last 12 months/newest first default would probably be not a bad thing.

Also, the password reminder might not be happy. It won't email me my password (id rochlin) so I can't sign in. (mailbox rochlin@centralpets.com)

A last suggestion -- wouldn't it be nice to have a support email address? No need for this sort of junk in a public forum :) (That might be a nice addition to "Need Help." I mean, people who need help might have questions/needs not in the mini-FAQ that's there now.

Thank You

    Yes, it is disabled and appears greyed-out in my browsers. To quote from the original announcement:

    I'd like to support searching "newest nodes first" but the MySQL optimizer will likely fight me on this.

    For lots more details on why/how, see that previous link.

    You need to check your hotmail account.

    No, it wouldn't be nice to have a support e-mail address. That is, unless you plan to find the people to staff it. I personally don't have time to answer the number of "you mispelt 'submit'" and similar e-mails that would result. The "public forum" nature prevents duplicates to a great degree and allows the whole community to pitch in with answers.
