I've noticed that there's some dissapering threads, and a TON just today. All of the CA20E threads are missing, as is the FAQ on Blaster coils. I was wondering if this was just me, or universal.

Yah, getting that here to, I think the board settings are getting rid of old posts. But I think its only saving for a day or 2, which may make it harder to find the older stuff when searching. It may or may not affect the search function. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe Arro can shead some light on this.

It is what the board is displaying...go to a given section, and there are some options, including Display Options; from the: ...put in from the beginning (it is a drop down box), and they will all re-appear...not to worry everybody...8)

Ahh, much better. Hopefully a Noob can see the threads 2. I changed my options from forum default to show all threads.

Yep, by default, Vbulletin sets each user's profile to only display the newest and most active posts. If you would like to see all the posts that have been made since the beginning, you have to go to your User CP and change the setting so that it Display All posts.

I tried editing it once so that Display All was the default setting for all users, but came up empty handed. I'm not sure if it even allows a change, or if it's just hidden so well that I can't find it. :dontknow:
