> Is there anything that can be done about this? Why can't you simply leave the last day or two's posts on the front page when you archive? E.g, on June 6 archive everything through June 4. The "leftover" days will then end up in the next archive, which will be called "June 5". Since your archives are identified soley by *first*-posting date included, I can't see how a change in the *end*-dates would confuse readers.
Excellent idea. It's long occurred to me that it's almost not worth posting near the end of the page.
It's also occurred to me that "NEW" (ie unread) posts do not appear as such once archived, making it v. difficult to identify the sort of posts Rick's referring to. Would this be as difficult to rectify, Dr. B?
