The way I understand it, I'm in dynamic mode if dynamic_pages in build options is set to "yes", correct? As an example, on one site that option is set to "no", build_new_cuttoff is set to 7 days, and on the "New" page there are links to the pages for individual days ranging from June 9, 2007 all the way back to March 11, 2007.

Am I correct in assuming that I'm not in dynamic mode, but the new flags are not getting updated? I don't use page.cgi. Don't even know what that is. I "build" a bare bones static page for each category in a separate folder then "include" it via SSI on the relevant category page.

I'm thinking there's a simple answer out there and I'm just missing it.
