I'm not an AOL user and there's no caching going on. I've never had
any trouble with the catalogue.
Basically here's what will happen to one of these posts: Say I have
a post coded to 1.9 COS, 4.4 JKR Inteviews and Comments, and
Recommended Additional reading 4.6. So, I change the COS code to
1.9.0, hit 'set category' and everything should stay the same except
for trading out the COS code, right? Nope, both the Recommended
Additional Reading code 4.6 and the JKR Interview code 4.4
automatically drop off.
If you see your losing codes great--you can go ahead and re-code to
the new, appropriate level in the catalogue. If not, those codes
will no longer exist for that post and it will remain coded only to
1.9.0 COS.
I haven't seen other categories dropping off besides the purple 4-
4.6.
Hope that explains it well. #6866 I left coded only to 1.8.0 as you
mentioned above because it didn't appear coded correctly to begin
with. But several posts lost codings that were useful and correct,
and I had to go back and re-code. I don't think I lost any post
codings, but am not for sure.
Also, take the same post example as above--you don't even have to
change anything for the codes to drop off. I tested one out by just
hitting 'set category' without making any other changes and the
codes from the purple section still dropped off.
