Random Article Finder on Website
 
Hi Steve
I'm picky about what I like to read. I really enjoy a lot of your older posts, but I find the newer stuff having less relevance to myself. My habit is to hit the "random" link on your site, and it will pop something out I enjoy. I'm not sure how the random generates, but I will sometimes get the same article 3, 4, 5 times. Yes, there is no such thing as pure random when computers are concerned, but do you think that it would be possible to change the script to pop out new articles each time?
Thank you

I noticed that for a period of months, the "random article" link would return the same page for me, every time I clicked it. It would stay that way for a few minutes, then change to a different article. Apparently I was the only one who got this issue (although it wasn't browser, OS, or ISP-related, so :confused:). But on June 8th it started working again.

Personally I love this feature. It's my home page. :)

I don't know what changed. It could be my perceptions, or real work on the back end. who knows. Either way, it is working better.
