Some forums only have threads going back 30 days? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just noticed that some forums only show threads going back to approximately August 24, 2021. But, the thread counts are in the many thousands.

Paint and Body work
Electrical
Engine and drivetrain

Not sure if there are other forums with the issue.. Is it just me?

Go to the bottom of page and change the setting from last month to whatever you want.

Thanks!
Never noticed that setting before. I figured there was a high probability of user error! Wonder why I only need to do it for some forums.

Seems like the most used forums are by default set to show posts further back. IDK why that is.

I find that periodically a forum only shows me a few posts, and I look down and see "from the last month" is selected, and I reset it to "from the beginning." Some time later I will notice the same thing again. I'm not setting it to "from the last month." The forum seems to change my preferences.

Oh, wait a sec, I found a setting in User CP -> Edit Options -> Default Thread Age Cut Off. I changed it from "Use Forum Default" to "Show all threads." Maybe now it will always show me all threads.

See all should be the default. Strange! Glad you figured it out.

Will add it to the list to check.
