All,
Seems that 4:00pm (16:00 to you modern types) was the time the Fool went read only

Gutted. Until now, there was a tiny glimmer of hope, even if I was deluding myself...

Yes but take some comfort that yours was the last ever post (unless a TMFer has the final last word) and on LoOTP to boot:

At the moment you can still get to Best Of by going to the 'boards are closed' post
http://www.fool.co.uk/help/community/cl ... on-boards/and hovering on the down arrow next to 'boards' (Best Of is the only one there). I don't know how much longer that will work for.

Third from top, behind Gengulphus and ClitheroeKid.
That'll do me
Sigh. Few tears tonight, but hey ho. Here we are in our new home, with toast and drinks.
Cheers!

No, I think it's continuing to change - nothing there from before this time yesterday. By this time tomorrow it'll be empty.

That's a relief, thought I was curs'd to roam the internet seas for eternity, with the unlucky 13 around my neck like an albatross

You can still get a list of the top recommended posts by a user
You can search for their username with the Author search box. For me this gets to
http://my.fool.co.uk/profile/ahenry/activity.aspxThen the link "Show ahenry’s 10 Latest Posts" is to
http://boards.fool.co.uk/lastposts.asp? ... 0&uid=1110If you add &limit=99&byrecs=y to the end of that URL then you get a list sorted by the number of recs eg
http://boards.fool.co.uk/LastPosts.asp? ... 9&byrecs=y

Still roaming (with or without BoB):

A 13-rec is only unlucky if it's on the BoB. Plenty of others around. Or something.
And hello ahenry, welcome to our new home !

I am cheered up to see several familiar names on this board, I was feeling a bit isolated and sad. I am sure, once I get a new sofa , table, and cup pf coffee,I will become as at home here as I was on the sadly departed Lost.
