I'm not sure where to ask this, but I didn't want to email Rob as I'm sure he's very busy most of the time. Please delete this thread if it doesn't belong in the forums.

The hints on the main site are wonderful! And I'd love to read them all! But with nearly 2,000 hints, there are just too many for me to ever catch up.

What I'd like is to list the titles of the hints so I can quickly determine which I may want to read now and which I'd like to skip. I've looked everywhere for a setting or link that will do this, but I'm coming up empty handed.

How can I list the hints (all or by subject) so I can quickly determine which I'd like to read right away?

well, if you perform a find : [ a ] you'll probably either get a list of all but the Czecho-Slovakian posts, or you'll crash the server :D

It turns out that if you just click in the search box and then press Return (thus searching for nothing), you will get a list of all 1919 hints.
You should be able to do the same thing for each topic separately if you want.

Works perfectly! That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you! :)

Performing a regular search while viewing a specific category defaulted to a full listing of all hints from all categories. To get a listing of just one category, use the Advanced Search. Select the category, but leave everything else blank. You get a full listing of all of the hints for that specific category.

i meant to add that, hopefully, not a lot of you will rush to list all titles as it could put quite a load on the server.
