The 1000 entries/14 days cutoff is because of it being a massive pain in the tuchus on the database, IIRC? Which slows everything down for everyone.
For what it's worth, paid users on LiveJournal now have access to a feature where they can navigate back to their friends page on a specific date; given that this is accessible only to paid users, and not plus, I'd guess this feature is probably also not particularly database-friendly either. ( http://community.livejournal.com/paidmembers/22352.html ) So keeping/implementing this feature on DW would be useful, but I'd be willing to bet it's going to be a premium feature here if it comes about/is ported over. - Lynne On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 3:17 PM, tagore <[email protected]> wrote: > My apologies if this has been discussed before (and for interrupting the > 'tags' discussion); there's one feature I'd dearly love to see Dreamwidth > incorporate -- I'd love to be able read my flist as far back as I'd like. > The cut-off point of 1000 entires or 14 days on LJ is annoying and > frustrating to no end.
