[gary tisdel]

hi guys,

being a newbie around here, and doing some searching here brought me to few real must see threads that are probably being missed by new members.

heres some of the best i`ve found so far;

that collet chuck is real impressive.

there has to be other threads buried in the archives that need a little sunlight ???

how do you go to the archives ?? i found these by running searches, but have yet to figure out how to access the whole archive.

...have yet to figure out how to access the whole archive.

The whole archive is over 900,000 posts.

What would you do with if you could access it?

That's the whole reason for searches.

This is a large community. A thread which is hugely interesting to one visitor may be a total yawn to another.

hi leigh,

i meant the monarch archive.

i would be shocked if there aren`t lots of great threads like these that haven`t been seen in a while.

i`d just like to be pointed in the direction of a few great ones.

thanks,

Hi Gary,

I don't think there is an archive, as such. By default, the main page for the forum just shows you just the threads from the last month. To see all off the threads, go to "Display Options" at the bottom of the forum page and select "Beginning" in the "From the" box, then click "Show Threads". I get 68 pages with 2,683 threads in this forum, dating as far back as March of 2002.

It's a lot of fun to flip back through the old threads or just dive into the middle somewhere. Happy hunting!
