What is going on with the forums? I would think a site about playing guitar this forum would be full of threads.

Ya I never understood how the forums worked in that sense. Seems like after a while, the threads get "deleted".....even though they still exist. Kind of annoying I want to look through different pages seeing as how they don't exist.

Makes it so that people can't come to the forums and get as much info as they can since the threads get removed.

hmmm, this sounds strange. Could you send links to the problem area?

Well you're in the problem area so I don't really know what sort of link I could give you.

Here is a picture of what I'm trying to explain.

I actually just found a solution though. At the bottom of the page under "Display Options" (directly under the "new thread" button), by default it seems to be set to "Last Month". Change it to "Beginning" and you should see all the threads.

EDIT: Found a permanent solution!
On the top of the forums main page, go to "Account".
Select "Edit Options"
Find the "Thread Display Options" section:
-Under "Default Thread Age Cut Off"
-Change it to "Show all Threads" (or whatever your preference is)
Save your changes at the bottom of the page.

Never have to worry about it again.


I would actually suggest changing the default on the forums to maybe a year. For new people coming to the site, it makes it look like there isn't a lot of traffic or discussion since it's just set to 30 days. If a new viewer or potential customer visits the "Songwriting" forum, they only see 2 posts. Without knowing, it automatically makes it look like nobody posts. Upping the cut-off limit might make a little more sense from a business perspective since it gives people a more positive view of the forums in general when they see a lot of activity.

Awesome man! Thanks!

Thanks for the pics Peter, now I get what you're talking about.

Hunter, BAM! nicely done sir.
