View Full Version : Sub forum issue with limited number of threads, maybe?

Hi I got a question regarding the Homemade tools and jigs etc (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f44/) sub forum under Hand tools and machinery. I've only started recently viewing and posting there and notice there only ever seems to be seven or so threads visible on one page only. I was thinking it was a new sub forum hence the lack of threads but I've noticed a couple of threads dropped from there over the past month.

The Hand tools & machinery (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f151/) main forum says there's supposed to be around 1075 Homemade tools and jigs etc threads with 12805 posts. The "similar threads" section on any thread may show threads from a range of dates belonging to the homemade tools sub forum, and their links work, but the threads themselves don't appear when I try to browse the Homemade tools and jigs etc sub forum, because there appears to be only one page with only 7 threads visible any time I go there.

I hope that makes sense. As far as I know the limited number of threads was like that before the forum upgrade and any other sub forum I visit I can browse right through many pages of threads. Come to think of it, the list of threads is limited on that sub forum regardless if I'm logged in, at work, home, pc or ipad.

Any thoughts? I can't work it out if I'm doing something wrong or if it's beyond my control. Cheers.

Hi,

If you scroll down the page a bit when you're in the HOMEMADE TOOLS AND JIGS ETC. (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f44/) or any sub forum for that matter, you'll see a section as shown in my screenshot below, that there is a Thread Display Options which is most likely set as Last Month, change this setting to how far back you want to go :2tsup:
