@paultoo I've been trying to remove useless old likes & comments (i.e. after putting articles in Del.icio.us), and unable to view early ones (even by manually typing in URLs such as "start=400"). I've posted this on the Google Group discussion forum http://groups.google.com/group... Same problem on (1) combined "comments & likes" page (2) anyone's main page. Trying to view any page beyond 11 (#330-359) gives you page 11.

June 27 discussion http://friendfeed.com/e... Ross Miller at FriendFeed says "Nick: We are aware that you cannot navigate past the 11th page and it is something that we cannot change right now. However it will be allowed at some point in the future. If you are trying to find an entry from the past, I would recommend using the search function as it will pull entries far beyond your 11th page ;-)"

Partial workarounds (1) Use "search by service" (click on the left-hard column icons) to search for a blog, Twitter, etc... (2) Use "start=300&num=100" to see items #300-399 (40 items deeper than #330-359 in the default 30-item scans). This allows you to reach much deeper into the old streams than a general scan for all items. At least we can see the last 399 blog/Flickr/Twitter posts/likes/comments in our old streams.

e.g. "likes?start=300&num=100&service=flickr" http://friendfeed.com/mitchel... will pull up #300-399 of my Flickr likes. Unfortunately, I now have more than 400 Flickr likes and have lost easy access to my pre-June 1 Flickr likes...

that bug has annoyed me for a while, but what's a girl to do?!

Susan: I think it requires a major redesign of FriendFeed's querying/caching/feeding mechanisms. What having you been trying to find? Is a more specific search possible to grab something from a couple months ago? For me, It's annoying that I can't browse old stuff. Sometimes I can't remember the "exact" wording of an article (or I want to picture-search).
