Actually there is a very simple way to see new writeups that were hidden even if you are not a God or an Editor. It involves the little address box in your web browser.
Click on any of the writeups in the
New Writeups nodelet. (you have to start with a brand new one for this to work correctly, or click on the
writeup type and go from there).
See the
url in your
browser.
See the
number right after node_id=
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=
1091590&lastnode_id=0
Add 1 to that number like so.
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=
1091591&lastnode_id=0
That will bring you to the next newest
node, (even if it was hidden). This will also show you new nodeshells and new users as well.
Now you can see all the
stuff people have been
noding behind your back!
