Great new look

Cool, I thought it only went to the last 500 posts.

It shows the most recent 500 posts by an individual "Aviator." Older posts are still out there, they just aren't shown in the search. SO, don't bother looking at Aviators with more than 500 posts if you're looking for their "first" post.

This limitation is why I have qualified my findings with the caveat "it appears." It appears that these are the oldest threads, but there might be older. I just can't find any older using these methods.

Look at those measly "Number of Posts" numbers! 12, 20, 25...

Your still considered a newbie now-a-days with even a couple hundred posts!

Amateurs...

I was looking for the oldest threads since the vBulletin software was implemented, when the current bunch of folks began registering in the November 2001 timeframe. Actually, I should have looked at something even simpler...


I usually use that fancy language stuff to turn links like http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=5 into something that looks like
Awesome Site. However, looking at the url in its primitive form reveals a pattern of labeling threads in chronological order. The "t=5" would seem to indicate that this is the 5th thread created. Editing the navigation bar to look at "t=1" or "t=2", etc., one finds that 5 is the smallest number for which a thread currently exists. Apparently, the first 4 threads have been deleted. The thread we're currently reading is number 7, and the first poll is number 8.



I really need to get another hobby... this is so sad...
