Thread date and time limits on forum
"Sorry, but there are currently no threads in this forum with the specified date and time limiting options."

Seems to be a common message in most of the sections on the forum... It's a shame because it stops people seeing past / interesting topics that simply are over a certain age. I mean, this might be good for a super-active forum that needs some serious tidy-up features... but here?

Anyway... just a suggestion.

Cheers

RE: Thread date and time limits on forum
Hey Stormy.

How can I replicate the issue that you're having?

If you're asking for me to hide old topics... I prefer to not hide old topics as is typical on VBulletin/Xenforo type installs. I've in fact designed the forums here to be sort of antithetical to how those are designed. If you're referring to search or something, show me what you're doing.

Technical problems should be sent my way.

Hello Stormy,

After reviewing and playing around I think I can infer what you did:

In UserCP, under Edit Options you can change the number of days by default used for the forum's viewing options. By default, it's set to "From the Beginning".

At some point in the past you may have changed this tunable and thus inadvertently activated it..

RE: Thread date and time limits on forum
No worries. Sorry for getting confounded in my initial response. Sometimes I find replication difficult.

Thanks for alerting me.
