Default Threads Disappearing?

It seems to me that threads older than 30 or 60 disappearing. Sometimes older threads turn up in searches. Is this a newish change? Was it announced anywhere? Or am I just losing my mind?

Default Re: Threads Disappearing?

Have you set the forum to show all threads? It's at User Settings/Edit Options/Thread Display Options/Default Thread Age Cut Off (quick link to Thread Display Options).

IIRC, the default is 30 days.

Default Re: Threads Disappearing?

Thanks @Parody. I had never messed with that before, my setting was “Use Forum Default”.

Some forums I visited (Car Wars) were only showing only a few posts, whereas other forums (Gurps) had a dozen pages (as was my usual experience).

You have fixed the problem for me, but also confirmed that I think there may be an issue with several forums having an expiry that is much shorter than is optimal.

If you're talking about these forums, then the "Use Forum Default" is 30 days. And trust me, plenty of people have asked the same question you did over the years this forum has been running.
