Seeing how many people 'own' up to using the posts feature for so many different reasons, I can see why they chose it to test ATS' limits.
I think all the comments about how they have 'caught' people using the posts feature is telling as well.
Maybe we should have all kept our mouths shut about things. With the recent thread that was talking about the Pentagon viewing the internet as an
enemy weapons system, among others as of late, I think it is safe to say that some one of us did do this. One of us hit too close to home.
Sort of like Mel Gibson's character in Conspiracy Theory, and just like him, we
don't know exactly what it was.
I do think that the 3 Amigos could do an investigation, by looking at a window of time (start with 0 minutes to the minimum time needed to set up that
attack from scratch) and then search the threads for the 'busted' users during that window, and immediately before. Also, any users that had heavy
use up until the attacks, but little or none since.
I am sure that I know next to nothing about how to do all that, but somewhere in all the hay, one of us found and then lost the golden
needle.
Missing my Posts Feature, guess I should have flagged those threads....
Forgetfully Yours,

The "My ATS" should work for now. All the posts you recently replied to will be found there in order of the most recent post. The list is on the left and it says top 50 subscriptions. Hope that works for now for everyone who doesn't look for their comments that way.

I don't care what I posted.
I like to research what others have posted.
It has always been an excellent research tool to find buried threads, follow up, repetition, trends, bias, opinion, facts, theorys, friends, respected foes, foes, quotes, proof etc. etc.
Taking the post button away is sketchy if we are seriously working to deny ignorance, this goes hand in hand with the new and improved past time of locking threads, deleting posts, burying threads in ghost towns and snipping words. But those spiffy looking reprimands with the Queen telling you "We don't do that here" makes it all good, I thought I was an adult that could form my own opinions and make my own decisions but I guess I need to be led by the hand. Cool! Thanks ATS!!!!
But whatever....

Interesting development there. I would have known about it if I had access to Sys_Configs posts.
Peoples posts are a valuable research tool.
Im not sure what defines over using the posts section, but I 'll stand guilty as charged in relation to the mystery.

That's the only reason I ever used the "Post" button too- for other people. But many have said on this thread that they use it to find their own posts to know what threads they reply to and now they can't do so. So, I was letting them know there is another way to at least see the posts they have replied to by using the "My ATS" button.

I thought I noticed the difference about the post button after ATS moved all of John Lear's posts and threads to
Skunk Works.
I notice that Lear still isn't back, and no one is talking about it. I think the two issues are connected somehow.
Edited to add link to Skunk Works.
