Trouble getting to older talk posts?
I find that if I click on "older" at the bottom of Talk I don't make much progress. The first time I did this just now I didn't get any older posts added to the list, and the second time only 4 older posts added. This has been always been true for me, but since we're doing so much site feedback right now I thought I'd see if anyone else has this problem. Am I missing something in how to do this?

@Lemonfair: That's strange. You should have been taken to all the Talk topics started yesterday, 10/10. The "Older" link pages you back through each day's worth of Talk topics. So what you see in any given page depends on how chatty people have been.
Maybe I can see aboutbgetting a weekly view of Talk topics in addition to daily.

I have the same problem.

Thanks Adam. If that could happen it would be great. I think more topics would keep going longer if they could be reached easier.
Having tried this again right now I find the sticking point is just the first two times I click older, and perhaps that's always been true and I've given up.
.
The current bottom of the post list is "what's for dinner 10/09".
Clicking "older" once actually shortens the list so that "chili" is at the bottom, which is the first 10/10 post.
Clicking "older" again adds the rest of the 10/09 posts, 6 more to the original list. I think I usually give up here, because I've already tried twice and only gotten a few more posts - sometimes no more, depending on the number of posts the previous day had.
But I see that continuing to go back gives me 10/08, 10/07, etc. So I can live with this, knowing how it works. But if it could be fixed so that the first "older" brought you the rest of the day that shows at the bottom even that would help.

Not sure if that was too confusing. Since today is 10/11, clicking "older" actually doesn't take you back to any older posts, since there are already posts from 10/09 showing in the queue. You're right that it shows the posts from yesterday.
