Have you had a clear out?

I have just submitted a new thread on the Mini 1 second generation 2006 to present forum. (Sump Gasket)
What has happened to all the old threads? I appear to be the only one on it.
Silly question, however, is the forum up and running or has it been ghosted out?

I think the age of 'visible' posts varies on your Mini2 control panel settings, the posts are all still there as history/achived but only come up if you do a relevant search?

Lesser used parts of the forum therefore don't have recent posts to display, never understood the point of this because it can make a forum appear to be dead!

Nothing has been deleted. You can see from the forum homepage that all 150,000 threads and well over 3 million individual posts still exist (and you can access any of these using the search feature).

As above, in the lesser used forums, you need to change the "Display Options" at the bottom - I think by default only the last 75 days worth of threads are displayed. You can open this up to show everything though. I'll see if the default can be changed in the admin console as I agree, it does make the less popular sub-forums look a bit unloved!

Thanks for the reply.
Do you think I would get more response if it was moved to a more popular forum?

Yes.......I would suggest you move or re-post it in the 'Faults and Fixes' section for 2nd Gen Mini which is more active.
