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.]

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
