Recent MetaTalk Comments?

January 23, 2005 1:09 PM

The MetaTalk front page currently reports two new comments but only shows me one. Obviously, a thread that has scrolled off the page is still active. How do I find out which one it is?

Sort by recent comments, using the pull-down under the count of recent threads/comments?

Not in MetaTalk, caitlin. You used to be able to find new comments from the archives page but that went away last year.

I am a dumb. I read "MetaFilter," I guess because it didn't sink in that anyone would want to track MeTa that closely.

I do think (%s new) on the archives pages (MeTa and AskMe) would be cool.

For now, try going to the metatalk archives, and looking for the post with the new comment/s. It shouldn't take that long, since they're only active for 30 days.
