Ohhh.  I try never to assume.  We don't want to go there, it always 
works out bad for me. ;-)  Perhaps a compromise, if you honestly looked 
at the docs, searched the archives, and tried googling for the answer, 
maybe state that what you found doesn't exactly answer the question you had.

You can re-sort the list archives by date posted to get the latest ones 
first.  It always works for me.

Sure, its ok.  I was only referring specifically to your OSD question.  
Hence why I trimmed my reply to only the relevant portion.  To answer 
your OSD cutoff question.  It probably has something to do with font 
sizes and the field widths in the osd.xml file.  More likely than not, 
your font size is actually smaller than the person that designed the 
theme planned for.  The OSD theme is configurable in the setup so you 
will want to make sure that you look at the correct one.  I think the 
default is blueosd, but you will want to check and make sure.
