Bandsawn Boxes forum shows only threads from last month by default.

[Humphrey9999]

I've noticed that when visiting the Bandsawn Boxes forum, it always only shows threads from the last month, instead of from the beginning.
On each visit, I select 'Beginning' from the drop down list, then hit 'Show Threads' and all is fine, but next visit the forum has reverted to only posts from the last month again.
Not real critical, but is this fixable?

Tested with both IE8 and Firefox 17.0.1
OS is XP SP3

If you're logging off the forum or clearing your cache/cookies between visits then yes it will revert to month by default.

If you're using your own computer at home, there is really no need to log off or clear cache/cookies

You're jumping to conclusions, DJ. I don't ever log off, nor do I clear my cache/cookies between visits.
All other forums are OK, only the bandsawn boxes one does this.

Edit: Could you or someone else try opening the BS Box forum and see if it happens to them?

Settle, I said "if".

In the meantime, admin have been asked if the default can be changed.

When I open the BS Box forum it lists the posts back as far as 2004. So I presume the problem is your setup.

Odd.
Every other forum displays as normal, just not the BS Box one.
I'll clear my WWF cookies, let them get re-created and see what happens. Doesn't bother me, but I thought if it was the same for everyone that visitors might not even realise there were more than 2 threads in the forum.

[Humphrey9999]

Looks like it's the default for that particular forum at the moment.
Can be overridden, though, in General Settings by selecting 'Show All Threads' under 'Default Thread Age Cut Off:'

This is the info I was looking for.

Don't think so Peter

On mine, it is showing same as you too Humphrey and same for another Mod, so it isn't just you.

As posted before, has been reported for admin's attention.

[Humphrey9999]

Mine's fine now, after changing that setting as described in my last post. (Must be the default setting for the BS Box forum.)

Edit: Thanks for following up on this, DJ. I wasn't having a go at you earlier. I'm a bit blunt sometimes.

If I knew how to do a screenshot I could show you but mine shows Page 1 of 13 - Threads 1 to 30 of 363.

Thread Display Options - Show threads from the beginning. Sort threads by: Last post time. Order threads in Descending Order.


Seems no longer necessary others were faster then me.

Thanks for taking the time anyway, Peter, and you were right - I fixed it in my settings, until/if the forum default is changed.

[DJ’s Timber]

Default setting has now been changed and from my check is now shows as Beginning

Thanks DJ.
I changed back to 'Use Forum Default' for 'Default Thread Age Cut Off' in my General Settings and can still see all threads from the beginning now.

I also logged off and had a look as a visitor - they now also see all posts in the BS Box forum automatically. Much more interesting than just two threads.
