If I am missing the obvious, my appologies up front. Is there a master list of all the members anywhere on this site? Have looked everywhere. Most forum sites have an accessable list, so I am kind of puzzled I can't find the list for Wrong Planet.
Thanks for any help here.

I suspect there are other obscurities...

I know I found an old set of "rules" for WP, at one point, but then I lost them again.

I also know to use a "&start=999" tacked onto the "Show all posts by" to get at the rest (which... checks... still gives "No topics or posts met your search criteria" if you try to do it the "proper" way).

However, I've just discovered that you can achieve the original effect by using "Search". Just search for th e "Author", with "Display results as: posts" and "Sort by" changed to "descending". Then the page numbers work.

PS. I note that I'm now the 90th top poster. Gosh.

Could you please be a bit more specific? Where does one tack "&start=999" to get at my old posts?

I am definitely saving this one in my WP Scrapbook.

The search thing didn't work for me,
however the first suggestion "&start=999" that did work for me, Thanks for the tip.

It is sort of important to know, in case there is a real problem with the site. Like that SF thing for instance.

There are three mods who wish to
be known, the others mainly keep
a low profile. Quatermass, TheMachine1,
and Mr. Mark. Others probably shouldn't
be pestered. The position was not based
upon their own desires. On the other hand,
I've noticed at least one incident where another
mod made a cut to a thread, not too long ago,
and I think that anyone who is doing more than
simply sitting around to kill pure spam OUGHT to
make themselves known, simply as a matter of
accountability.

How many "hidden" mods are there?
