Well, I clicked on the dev site and had 40 posts to read on this thread so my first post showing when I click on that is 202. That's a problem right away as it says 202 of 256 which is more that 41 posts.

That's a symptom of the "disconnect" between the number of messages in existence here and on Dev. It should be mitigated a bit now because instead of having a 500-message gap between the two, it's a 20-minute gap. I can't decrease that gap (easily) because it'd involve a lot of checking to see if a message that was previously imported has been edited since the import. Hence the 20-minute gap. To make sure it can't be edited anymore.

Incredibly, I'm still having trouble getting the import routine to auto-refresh itself. It was working for a while using exactly the same syntax, but currently isn't working. A real head-scratcher.

Now it's hard to read those batches in reverse order and it's hard to find your place unless the new post count resets. If the messages in your batch are not in reverse order,

I see the problem now. The current version of the site shows the messages in ascending order, but the Dev version shows them in descending order. I'll change it to ascending order on Dev. Then the "Jump to Bottom" won't be necessary anymore.
