Default View Age - Set All Forums To "Since Beginning"?
 

how can i go in and make every forum show topics since the beginning, instead of having to go in one by one and do the individually...

Execute the following query
[sql]UPDATE forum SET daysprune=-1[/sql]


Then gto to ACP / Import & Maintenance / Update Counters and select Rebuild Forum Information

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'forum2.forum' doesn't exist

Then you are using a table prefix and must change the query accordingly.

how do i do that? sorry, i don't know about this..

And I don't know what your table prefix is :)
Just put it in front of forum, so if your table prefix is vb3_ it would be

[sql]UPDATE vb3_forum SET daysprune = -1[/sql]

i just ran that, and it didn't do it... great...

what did that query do, then...


b/c it worked, i put my table prefix in there, but the actul changing of the forum views didn't change... did i mess something up running that query?

it said it affected 43 rows, but nothing changed...

The user you used for testing if anything had changed, dies he have a default set in his profile?

i thought if you set cut off date to 1,000 days the forum will automatically select "since the beginning"

no... set to default...

some forums are one month.. some are beginning, some are one day...

i dunno why...

ok, for some reason, now it is all set at beginning... maybe it just took time? i dunno

thanks alot, it is all set, now... :)
