Can anyone tell me how the archives work here?

K, I've been hearing alot of regular posters saying they like looking through the archives for interesting hands, but when I look at the archives, all the forums are empty... Can someone explain to me how to make effective use of the archives? Much appreciated! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NM, I figured it out, you have to use the search feature and give really loose guidelines, like for example newer than 6 months, older than a day, and then use a username search or something.

You'll do well to also read this. From the PokerWiki.

Also, probably more importantly, after about 3 months the messages are archived off to the archive server. You should also search there for older content.

EDIT: LOL, beat me to it cat. Still, the point needs re-iterating, so:

*Everybody* needs to bookmark this link and then pass it on to newbies.
