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.
