They may have lost them and it would not surprise me if that happened.
However, it seems like you have to make your choice of how many to display.
I picked 'The last month' from the drop down list.
Should not have to do this in my view.

So, I cannot wave a flag for this 'New Software' package so far.

Additionally, I must say that I find it incredible to see (admin) 'Patric's' log on showing an automobile on a motorcycle site. What's with that choice anyway?

Admin may like this, but my jury is still out for the time being........pg

PS: The 'Last Month' choice I just mentioned just defaulted to 'Last Day'.
I am already getting tired of having to go to the Display Options box every time I log on to get rid of today's post and find the older posts I am searching for. It sucks and is something the Great Ones need to fix right away, IMHO.

It sounds like you all have been around a while. I just stumbled on this sight a few days ago while doing this rebuild research. I was hoping to tap into a wealth of postings, tips, experience etc. Sounds like it got lost inthe ether

The forum default must be set to only display today's posts. You can change your preference to show all the threads very easily.

Click "User CP" in the upper left.

Scroll down and on the left under the subheading titled "Settings and Options" click where it says "Edit Options".

You can adjust all sorts of things here.

To change the number of threads you're seeing scroll down to the subheading "Thread Display Options". At the bottom where it says "Default Thread Age Cut Off" choose "Show all threads" from the drop down box.

Scroll to the bottom and click on "Save Changes".

I also like to change the setting right above that one to show 40 posts per page so I don't have to change pages as often.

Up higher I also like to choose instant email notification up in the messaging and notification area. That sends you an email everytime someone posts in a thread you posted in or subscribed to.

Most bulletin boards have these settings for you to play around with. It's not a problem with this one it's just a default setting.
