Subject: Re: Mailing list archive update

Hi everyone,

The BBC Micro mailing list archive has just undergone two updates, one 
of them quite major. The Beeb Emulators mailing list archive has also 
been updated.

The main page has been changed to list the years in decending order as 
this seems to be more intuitive and makes browsing the archive on a PDA 
much easier.

The way messages are sorted in the archive has also changed. Previously 
all messages were archived in order of the original posting time, 
disregarding time zone offsets, this meant that some posts from out 
non-UK members appeared in the wrong oder.

Time zones are now taken into consideration and all messages are now 
listed according to the UTC time of posting. This change has meant that 
many of the links will have changed and you may get '404 Not found' 
errors form old links, especially those from search engine results. When 
the site is reindexed by the major search engines this will be a 
non-issue.

Thanks are due to Jonathan Harston for these changes.

The Beeb Emulators (BeebEmul8) Mailing List Archive has also undergone 
similiar changes and the help and information page has been completely 
rewritten from scratch.
