    Thread Death

    Is it just me or are all threads older than a week disappearing ??

    (I believe the Internet Archive will store it all forever if you choose to do so)

    I haven't noticed anything, but then don't participate in most threads. None of the ones I've subscribed to have gone away, even the inactive ones.

    Under your Settings - General Settings - Thread Display Options:
    Default Thread Age Cut Off:

    You may specify a time period from which to display threads. Threads older than the age you specify will not be shown.
    You may not have it set to default ( for me show all )

    No threads or posts are deleted.

    With the old PEv2 system, threads were deleted if there were no posts for a while. That does not occur with this system.

    If you don't see a thread you're looking for, try using the advanced search.
    Regards,

    If you want a thread to die just mention eating unusual foods while trying to reglaze your bathtub.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
