How long do questions stay up on this forum? I notice every few days they are reset to 0, deleting even unanswered questions. Don't you think that unanswered questions should be left a little linger?

Paresh, it looks to me as if messages stick around for a week or so. I just checked the header (which you will see everytime you come into the forum) and there are over 500 messages here. The number went up around 50 since yesterday.

Thanks Vic . . . Guess I have to restate my questions once a week if they go unanswered. Again Thanks for the reply.

Paresh, Messages stay on this forum for a week to ten days. They aren't deleted by me, there are only so many message slots so the oldest message "scrolls" when a new one is posted. You prbably see zeros when you do a MESSAGE;SELECT because your AGE setting is set to show you only NEW messages in each section. – Lupes

Thanks Lupes! I'll keep that in mind when posting messages . . . This stuff gets addicting, I think I'm having too much fun! Thanks Again . . .
