Question on old threads

Does anybody have any idea how long before we can access the old threads, I had a 17 page RP that I'd love to update. :)

Thank you.

I think you can access the old threads right now. When you're at the thread list in a forum, there should be something near the bottom called "Display Options". In that there's a drop box called "From the:". Select something in that dropbox other than "Last Day" (like "Last Year" if your thread is from the last year), then click the "Show Threads" button.

I hope that's right. Then I can access the Jolt ball thingy.

Try this:

Go to "Profile"

Then go to "Edit Options"

Then scroll down to "Thread Display Options"

Set "Default Thread Age Cut Off" to "Show all"

You can look under your profile, in the options section, to set the forum defaults to displaying all forums 'from the beginning' ... I find this much better than the default of a day or so.

I tried that but I seem to be unable to bring up any of the old threads that I was involved in

Well that should have done it. If not, try clearing your browser's cache. The threads are all there, it's just a question if you have your settings right or not.

Once this search feature is accessible again all of this will be much easier. I have to say though, I sort of liked the way the old forums were (uber-simple). Not that I am having a trouble with the new ones but they seem a lot more graphical and such that would reduce load times.

When I go to my profile I can't even find the threads that I have posted in today.
