Okay, barb....I'll walk through what I did....and you can tell me if this is what you're trying
to do. At the old Foum Seek, I typed
"wine tasting", selected Gail's Recipe Swap, and received 91 responses.
Now from this point on, I can only open ONE LAYER into the thread responses, meaning I can click on any of the 91 responses, read it, and see the responses, BUT I can't click on the responses to open them. It defaults into the new Gail's Swap format. Epicurious did something when they changed to the new format and now the old archived links don't work as easy.
But we can play tricky.
Say you want to see the responses for this particular post:
55889. ISO: ideas for Wine Tasting party and breakfast..... MAE
I've pasted the entire address for this thread
http://63.123.232.200/HyperNews/get/archive_swap55801-55900/55889.html
If I wanted to open and read the response below that says: "These sound yummy I wonder", take note that it is the third response to the #1 response.
So I put my cursor right at the .html and add a /1/1/1 to the address (the slash key is with the ? key). This tells the system to go to 55889, then to the first answer, then go to the first response to that...and then finally open the first response to THAT.
All much quicker than it just took to read.
To see the response titled "This is another cheese app, but good", you would simply add a /3 AFTER the 55889 and before the .html. Like so....

Does that make sense?
So you can do a search and get your responses, click and read those, but you have to work a bit to read their respones.
