The Switch Has Been Flicked

All,

Seems that 4:00pm (16:00 to you modern types) was the time the Fool went read only :(

Feels really sad.

Gutted. Until now, there was a tiny glimmer of hope, even if I was deluding myself... :-(

Yes but take some comfort that yours was the last ever post (unless a TMFer has the final last word) and on LoOTP to boot:

At the moment you can still get to Best Of by going to the 'boards are closed' post
http://www.fool.co.uk/help/community/cl ... on-boards/
and hovering on the down arrow next to 'boards' (Best Of is the only one there). I don't know how much longer that will work for.

Third from top, behind Gengulphus and ClitheroeKid.

That'll do me :)

Sigh. Few tears tonight, but hey ho. Here we are in our new home, with toast and drinks.

Cheers!

No, I think it's continuing to change - nothing there from before this time yesterday. By this time tomorrow it'll be empty.

That's a relief, thought I was curs'd to roam the internet seas for eternity, with the unlucky 13 around my neck like an albatross

You can still get a list of the top recommended posts by a user

You can search for their username with the Author search box. For me this gets to http://my.fool.co.uk/profile/ahenry/activity.aspx

Then the link "Show ahenry’s 10 Latest Posts" is to http://boards.fool.co.uk/lastposts.asp? ... 0&uid=1110

If you add &limit=99&byrecs=y to the end of that URL then you get a list sorted by the number of recs eg

http://boards.fool.co.uk/LastPosts.asp? ... 9&byrecs=y

Still roaming (with or without BoB):

You'll have to get someone to use Bree's patented after hours reccing machine (not something I can help with as I've already done the business).

A 13-rec is only unlucky if it's on the BoB. Plenty of others around. Or something.
And hello ahenry, welcome to our new home !

I am cheered up to see several familiar names on this board, I was feeling a bit isolated and sad. I am sure, once I get a new sofa , table, and cup pf coffee,I will become as at home here as I was on the sadly departed Lost.
