Thread help needed
 

I have recently found old threads etc likes of tutorials vanishing from my forum after so many days etc.......is there a way to set how many days a thread stays .......i had made a section for a lot of info related posts that members could just read but they seem to have vanished...any ideas????

If you post something then it will stay there forever until it is deleted. Did you do any old posts/topics prunning?

No we can still get to the post's but have to scroll to the foot of the page and goto Thread Display Options and change it to show threads from the beginning to be able to see older posts and threads!
Is there a way we can set this to show all or for longer time?

You can change that on a forum per forum basis at Forum Manager-Edit Forum and the option you need is:

Default View Age, And set it to show all threads.

Or you can change them for all the forums in one fell swoop at the phpmyadmin in the cp of your host by running the following queries:

To show threads from the begin:



If your db tables have a prefix you should include that as well in the query. Hope it helps.
