re: Impossible to get to earlier posts
I have noticed this happening off and on at Current Events the past 2 days. I think it is because the current activity posts are taking up more space than the page allows. As the posts lapse past 24 hours than the Earlier button appears again, but may dissapear when a new post arrives. A temporary fix would be to make CE even larger, but I can't think of what a permanent fix might look like assuming I have diagnosed the problem correctly.
