Very often, posters are searching for old CR threads or topics.
These can easily be found (as can this one and similar ones saying the same thing) at the following URL
Try it. Its really great. But save it to your favorites otherwise you wont be able to search for it when you need it!!
New posts on previously discussed topics keep resurfacing again and again. If you want to discuss something, first check if there’s already a thread on it!
MODS HOW ABOUT PUTTING THE URL AS A STICKY AT THE TOP OF THE CR???
What does sticky mean?
I used to think it meant controversial as in that’s a sticky subject.It means permanent,the blue ones…
Thank you
I like poppa_bar_abba’s way much better. Allow me to quote:
The easiest way is to go the dvar torah thread which is stickied, and find a post by “chofetz chaim”. If you click on his name, it brings you to a search page.
I know that is odd. But you do some odd things also.
This was the funniest thing I have ever seen in the CR. I do it all the time now.
umm shticky guy, you shouldve practiced what you preach! THIS is the second or third thread with the almost exact title!
btw, maybe it should be called a shticky thread??
kol hakavod
Thanks Shticky for this thread. I don’t use it often, but I just did and it was great and convenient!
I still can’t figure out why the CR doesn’t come with a search box, but at least this is close!
I have trouble with the search as I don’t understand how to read the results so I can know which one it is that I want.
I think we need to draw attention to this thread again as there is now an influx of subtitle threads (I saw at least three at once on the main list), welcome to the cr threads (though kudos to whoever it was that brought the original back up)
😀 Zuberman! 😀
mazal tov shticky – that’s quite an accomplishment!
i use this thread a lot of times – thanks!
Is there such a thing as CR notifications to let you know when a thread that you posted on, has a new post?
Or, must you click on your username and scroll down the list seeing which ones have recent posts?
we wish
I see. YW Editor, MODs, is there a way to fulfil this wish? Will make the CR’s functioning so much easier!
Thanks, and Gut Shabbos!

Shticky: the times when I searched for a thread I would put in a phrase or two (depending on what I was looking for) and I couldn’t tell from the results which thread it was. Then again it may just be from my ignorance how to read computer talk (yet I can read and fully understand UPS labels. Go figure)
😀 Zuberman! 😀
Can i make a simple suggestion? Maybe just allow us to read through the older pages via a numbers on the bottom of the coffee room page, like in google. (does it have to do with brandwith costs? Don’t be cheap on us here! At least allow 3 or 4 pages!)
All these are great suggestions but are not things that can just be “added” by the mods. These require changes to the web site by Duvys which you need to speak to The Editor about. This last post about having a link to “page 2” would actually be very useful. It exists on the main page where you can click to see older posts but the CR does not have this feature yet.
Actually quark2’s suggestion is a standard (and even default) feature of bbPress, the forum software the CR uses. I’m not sure why the CR never had that; it is a basic, and needed, function.
Yes my comment wasn’t directed at the mods, it was directed at the owner/manager of the website.
How do you contact the editor?

The feature you are looking for may exist, it just needs to be entered on the address bar instead of having a convenient clickable link.
Please try the following:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/2
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/3
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/4
…
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/10
etc…
ICOT: Thanks. Did you find that by giving it a shot to see if it would work?
Like I said, a clickable link to the older pages should be easily added to the CR with, probably, a very simple config file change of a simple bbPress setting from a “0” to a “1”.
Pac-Man-
It’s my pleasure.
“Did you find that by giving it a shot to see if it would work?“
Yes. That’s how the URL changes when you go to any page besides the first on a thread, so I gave it a shot here, not expecting it to work.
Surprise! It worked.
“Like I said, a clickable link to the older pages should be easily added to the CR with, probably, a very simple config file change of a simple bbPress setting from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.“
I’ll take your word for it since I don’t know bbPress at all.
I did notice books on bbPress in my version of candy stores (Barnes and Noble, Borders), if anyone is interested in learning how to work with it.
ICOT – Your so smart!
This a great idea if you weren’t able to visit the CR for a few days, and you want to check to see what you missed!

Thank you, but I’m afraid you’ve got me confused with some other icot.
My claim to fame is my rugged good looks ?
==========================
Here’s a guessing game:
How many pages of threads do you think the CR contains?
Click ?HERE? to find out what the last page is.
(Disclaimer – although the link above pointed to the last page on June 15, 2011 at 1:00 AM, it’s sure to change pretty soon as new threads are added)
ICOT – Did you guess till you figured it out?
I’ve been using this method for those times when the last page would be just an input box without seeing the preceding message from the previous page
& a mod gave a similar idea…
real-brisker-
Yes.
100 ==> Page found
300 ==> Page not found
150 ==> Page not found
125 ==> Page found
137 ==> Page found
140 ==> Page not found
138 ==> Page not found
Therefore, 137 is the last page.
Update July 23 2011:
The last page is now http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/149
I tried the search link above for the haiku thread…got 2 results showing other threads with the word haiku in them…
WHERE IS IT & HOW DID YOU FIND IT?
TIA
Thanks for trying to help, but that’s the limerick thread. I’m trying to find the haiku thread
I already tried a quick sequential search; either I missed it or it’s been deleted. And thanks for your smiley face cuz I wasn’t smiling 🙂
If you click on the above limerick link that you’ve mentioned, you’ll see that the haiku thread is also referenced.
SO WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE HAIKU THREAD?
P-M
Impressive. Very.
How did you find it?
From memory. I have a photographic memory.
That explains why you are always si negative. Btw, I also have a photographic memory, I just never developed it.
42, you’re on a ROLL today!
chofetzchaim: Your CR search function is broken. Compare its results to the results for the same search directly on Google.

From memory. I have a photographic memory.
Take a look at ==>this<==.
Mod-80: about a year and a half ago a convo between me and Dr. P (about 2 posts each) was deleted from the Riddle Thread. It was a joke that you thought was serious (and personal).
It wasn’t “The Riddle Thread…” nor has it been deleted.
So much for your eidetic memory.
That was 18 months later. This was 9 months later. The photographic memory maintains its vividness for a year. Afterwards the minute details start to fade.
