The old threads

[Colonel Kernel]

One fast and... well, fast question: is there a way to view the old threads that aren't viewable? By aren't viewable i mean that they can't be selected in the sub-forums.

Go down to the bottom of the page until you see Display Options. The one on the far right allows you to select what threads you want to see from a certain time period. The option on the far left lets you choose how you want to organize the threads, and the one in the middle just lets you pick descending or ascending order.

Hope this helps.

Er, wat?

If you go back far enough through the pages you should be able to see them. Or is there a limit?

Hope this helps.

Sure did, thanks.

Yeah, there is a limit - two pages to be exact. Well, maybe your options have been tweeked so you didn't notice it.

There's a limit unless you have the time period set to Beginning.

Huhhhhhh?

What options? Tweaked? I'm running default everything and I always have. I have no idea what options you tweaked that limits you only to being able to see two pages. That's ridiculous.

Edit: My time period is set to beginning and I had never set it any other way. I wasn't even aware of this feature, so I certainly didn't mess with it.

Oh, by the way, if I have been making certain threads that have been talked to death allready, it's simply because of this.
Sorry to the moderators if i have been annoying you.

Wow, interesting.
Well, I dunno, It was like that since I first registered.

You're not the only one though. I've seen so many new people make a similar thread to what's already been discussed over and over again. Everywhere I click I'll see something like, "G-Man Theory," or something about Gordon Freeman or the release date for Episode Three and this and that. It's just endless.

 

[Colonel Kernel]

And so, is my apology accepted?
Im sounding a little selfish, don't you think?

 

[Barnz]

Good thing I saved most of them for my personal archive.
