Why has my reader suddenly cut off how far back I can read? I spent all day reading posts from up to two weeks ago, now I’m limited to posts in the last 12 hours. Frustrating!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you haven’t yet, try logging out of WordPress.com, deleting your browser’s cache and cookies and then logging back in.

Unfortunately, I did that prior to your message, no luck. Deleted the cookies and emptied the cache. I’m using Chrome.

I could read all the way back to the beginning at about 5:00, shut down came back at 7:00 and the list went away. I didn’t change any settings – logged out and logged back in.

I love this site! It has to work. :)

And now, despite watching the blogs of 57 teachers involved in a great summer program and typically getting 3-10 updates per day, the reader seems to be dead. No updates on the wordpress site, no “new post” messages via e-mail.

Darn.

How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?

If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

If you are, please do these:
(1) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

(2) Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled

… only posts from the past 60 days will show up in the Reader Topics, which explains why the posts you mentioned aren’t appearing there. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/seeing-my-posts?replies=12#post-1332708

Does seem odd to me, especially if, as tt says, the Reader only shows posts from the last 60 days and you said you were reading posts from up to 2 weeks ago and can now only access posts going back 12 hours (as of your writing your initial post above).

I’ll just go ahead and tag this for staff assistance. Please subscribe to this thread if you haven’t so that you’ll see their reply.

Hello there :)

It’s really odd to me too, but….someone must have just kicked the server because it is suddenly working properly. Three new posts came flying in and I can now view all the posts I was looking at yesterday.

The magic of technology, does anyone really get it?

To all, thanks for your time.
