When I've been on vacation, I've had a similar problem.

I worked around it by setting up separate, non-overlapping filters for people, comms and feeds, then reading each one separately.

The only problem with that came when people would comment on "the kerfuffle today on xxx comm", or drool over Neil Gaiman's latest post, and I hadn't read my comms and feeds yet.

Being able to see more than 1000 entries simply on my friends page would have been nice.

Huh. I tried filtering, but it seemed like there was just a certain date I couldn't get past, not a skip number. So no matter what I tried, I could get back far enough.

It's limited by both time and skip number -- only the first 1000 entries made in the last two weeks will show up on your friends page.

There are built-in filters for viewing your friends page by personal journals (http://beckyzoole.livejournal.com/friends/?show=P), comms (?show=C), and feeds (?show=Y); you can also combine the options to show, for example, both personal journals and communities (?show=PC).

I usually stay updated enough that I don't have to use them, but occasionally when one of my comms is very active, I go over a thousand entries and filter by only personal journals *grin*.

Cool, I didn't know that!

Great Feature! It should be made more obvious.

It's in this FAQ, and if you have the navigation strip enabled, it's in a dropdown when you view your friends page. :)

Ah. They must have added it to the nav bar later. I tried the nav bar when they first created it, but I did not see the point, so removed it. I might have to try it again.
