Where are all the threads?

[MrDLips]

I see only 16 threads, but the parent forum says there at 7k odd!

go to 'settings' at the top right of the page. then general settings section, scroll down a bit, and change the 'default thread age cut off'. then you can read them all.

Surely not needed now the counts hit 20...

As Stevie said you generally by default only see threads from the past month, for everything else you've got to change the viewing parameters.

So cynical...

Thanks Stevie.

Though do be careful replying to old threads - in tech forums they can go out of date quite quickly and it just spams up the forums if people don't read before they post something that's now unhelpful. If you're going to the effort of showing older threads though I presume you're happy to take the time to check

'SEARCH' can also be very useful, though small words and terms like 'CPU' or '5.25" Bay' are often difficult!

So cynical...

Thanks Stevie.

Rapid rate of posting and resurrecting old threads gets my spam detector antennae tingling....

[MrDLips]

20 posts (more like 16) in a day is a high rate?

Haven't resurrected any old threads.

I've had my warning. Post or get posts deleted.

Judging by the volume of activity here, or lack thereof, there's an awful lot of people not doing so already!

[peterb]

20 posts in a couple of hours and then stopping is a high rate...

It's more about the quality than the quantity!

I stopped posting around midnight, generally the time most people are either sleeping or going to sleep...

Starting a thread asking where all the threads are hardly smacks of someone looking to spam. I was looking for decent reading material and I always get that from the graphics section as it is invariably the place where most people discuss. I was surprised to see so little, hence the question.

If you want better, more sincere, genuine contributions it might be an idea to increase the post count limit for free delivery and chuck in a minimum time-served duration. Either that or go lop some posts of the majority of the userbase who I would take a wild guess are under 50 posts. They'll come back in droves
