LJ is becoming useless

[titan5]

I've noticed that only very recent posts show up on my Friends page any more. Used to, if I got busy or my internet refused to work for a while (a constant battle), I could meander over to my Friends page and see what people had been up to. Not any more. If you didn't post it five minutes ago, it's gone. There is NOTHING on my Friends page.

My friend's page goes back. It also has today's stuff too.

For the last several weeks or maybe months, when I go to my Friends page, there is only a handful of entries from the last day or three. I can't find a way to scroll back to earlier times like I used to do to see what I've missed. Right now it is just empty. It's frustrating.

Mine goes back to Aug 13th. I don't know how far back it's supposed to go because I never looked. My inbox goes back farther because I never got rid of a bunch of stuff. That one has 104 pages.

I finally have one on my friends page now from a day or two ago. I think I'll watch and see how long before it goes away. There used to be a thing at the bottom of the page that was previous 10 entries or something and I could go back several pages if I needed so I could see what I'm missed. It's not there any more.

Mine says previous 25. I don't understand why yours is missing or that you are missing pages. I went as far back as the 13th of Aug I believe.

I think I may have figured it out. First of all, they don't let you go back near as far as they used to. I used to go back several weeks reading those things coming off a busy spell where I hadn't had time in a while. The other thing is, I think most of my "friends" have moved on and/or don't post much any more. So there are never more recent posts than what the page will handle, so the "previous 25" doesn't pop up. I think maybe in my lack of participation over the past year (working 2 jobs), I missed some kind of mass exodus or shut down or something.
