MeTa seems to only post the last 5 entries

July 25, 2002 8:38 AM

Ok, I was looking for any old threads on customizing MeTa, but only found something related (here). I am curious if it is possible to actually customize the number of posts on MeTa. I have Mefi for four days, but MeTa seems to only post the last 5 entries. Is there some way around this? I was looking but could not find it.

No you can't. There are only five entries showing because people would post things just to keep new stuff on MetaTalk, regardless of whether it was actually a good reason to post.

There is an archive link at the bottom to look beyond that. It is set to five, to hopefully limit the number of new posts to MetaTalk, to slow down the posting. I want people to think twice before they push another thread off the page.

Thanks for the clarification Matt.

And how's that working out for you?

You're going to make Miguel cry, Matt.
