I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm seeing this post about 12 hours after it was posted (which was probably just after my last check on my way out last night). so I can't say how long it took to appear. From my point of view, my replies appear almost immediately. For those of us reading the group, it's pretty easy keep track of new messages. When I'm in topic view (where Google Groups shows the list of threads (topics)), the tab has a counter of unread messages displayed. Right now, it's at 25 (for me). GG shows the topic list ordered by activity; I generally scroll down to where the already-read messages show up, and then work my way up the list. Very rare for me to miss a "stale" post that way, and I'm pretty confident that gurus of the group are pretty well on top of what's not dealt with. (Massimo probably also gets a dashboard showing posts, threads, unanswered new threads, etc.) There is one way a minor glitch can show up. If the poster's local time setting is too far in the past (clock drift, perhaps, or a mis-set calendar), the post will show up but below the point I scroll to to start reading. The clue, though, is that the count doesn't go to 0. If your count is showing as 99+, you should probably use the "Mark all as read" button to start the count over, and use some other way to track how far you've gotten in reading "back issues". I don't think that what you are concerned about with regards to posts to the group list is an issue for most people. And while I'm not to be mistaken for a power user, I can sometimes anticipate what additional information will make it easier for the power users to answer your questions, so I'll respond with a request for those details. I'm sorry you seem to be having a tough time with the list; I don't think yours is a common experience, and I hope your experience gets better. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
