For some reason I can't see any topics past 30 days. When trying to set my preferences to see all topics it goes back to 30 days. It does it on my computer and on my iPad.

I'm not really positive on this but if there is no activity in a month it may be archived. Don't quote me on that. Your best bet is to use the search feature.

I have the same issue running both IE or Chrome (if it makes any difference).

That's not it. If you look up in the right hand corner on the topic title page where you scroll through threads to see which thread you want to click on, you will see a white drop down box that says something to the effect of "Show topics for the last 30 days". You should be able to click the drop down and change it to last 5 days, 45 days, 60 days, 1 year and so on. However, if you change it to any other setting than 30 days, when it reloads the page it comes back up on the 30 days. It appears to be broke. I'm going to try it in some other sections of the forum that I have used it in before and see if it works there.

Edit: Yup, same in other sections of the forum also. Maybe send Cliff a PM and see if he is aware of it not working?

download firefox.

Still having this problem.

I guess nobody PMed Cliff about the issue? Or they did and no response or fix?

There is a "DaysPrune" argument in the URL, and even changing it to 2000000 doesn't give me more than 4 pages of threads from the last 30-32 days.

I sent an email to the admin email but heard nothing.

I encountered that phenomenononononon just this morning myself, with Firefox.
Didn't think it was important enough to whine like a girlie-man.

Click on the rectangular, blue-and-white "Search" button that has been, and still is, near the upper right of your computer screen.

Then, and I know this seems counterintuitive, but at the time of this post, COMPLETELY IGNORE the white, rectangular box below the "Search" button that says, "Show Topics From Past 30 Days".

Then, type in what you're searching for.

For example, I tried "project34", my user name, and found several threads and replies to those threads, which are far more dated than that implied by the phrase below the "Search" button that says, in a white rectangular box, "Show Topics From Past 30 Days".

Again, at the time of this post, and despite how counterintuitive it sounds, COMPLETELY IGNORE the white, rectangular box below the "Search" button that says, "Show Topics From Past 30 Days".

Search, and the topics to be shown in the standard forum list, are completely unrelated features.

Saying "COMPLTELY IGNORE THIS BROKEN FEATURE" doesn't solve the problem the OP is having, or make the feature magically work. Searching doesn't help either. The feature is about browsing (I want to see all the threads from the last 60 days), while searching is to find something specific.

Exactly.

Odd. I'll have a look at it.

Thank you Cliff, I'm still new to the Fiero so being able to browse older posts is very important for me as I may not even know what I am searching for. There are years and years of information here and for those that say "Just search" that really limits what I can do with my Fiero to only my imagination. I may stumble across a post and say "Oh man I didnt know you could do that!" or "That's how you fix that!"

I first noticed it at least a few months ago. I agree with other people, having the older stuff around is great. When I first got into Fiero's, I started at the oldest topic and worked my way forward .

Ok, it should be working again now.

Looks good to me. Thanks!
