How Long Do Topics Last?

[ian]

I've only just noticed that there only appears to be topics that have been posted to in the last month available (unless they are sticky).

Are the older ones archived somewhere? Can search access them? Or do I need to save off anything useful that appears in a topic??

Ian a lot of the forums have a filter to only show topics from the last 30 days.

Searches go back to the beginning of time

Or right at the bottom of the page you can set the number of days it shows you

hmm, I had never noticed that on the bottom of the page.. User (me) stupidity!

However, I'm not sure what the search is doing. ie I looked for two words ie 'melbourne' 'stagea', but it didn't find my old post (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71316) which definitly had those two words in it....

If you click on search (not just using the form field) you get the options to search back further than 30 days.

Yep - put that down to being a dumb user again... Thanx!

It would be best to have an archived section of all threads that surpass the set time customization of removing thread’s from stand user views.

I prefer to view all threads since the dawn of time myself. Not really one for archiving.

Well the term archive doesn't nessesarily mean gathering all thread's, if thier is a great thread made but it is forgotten, and bumped down beyond the pages, it would be worth moving good/great/funny/helpfull/informative thread's to a archive section, majority of my other forum's do it
