private message view default, can it be changed?

[grumpy]

Private messages are set to default to "show messages from last day" but I would rather it default to 5 days. Can this be done?

Assuming you are using vB2 Final, the default matches your personal setting for "Default Thread View" under User CP > Edit Options.

I would have bet money that there was a place in the CP to set defaults for threads (which would then apply to PMs) but I cant find it.

Is there a way then to force the PMs to show all PMs without specifying a time frame?

If you mean is there a way to do it board wide, you will have to edit the modifyoptions and registeradult templates to make 1000 the default. It will not affect current users unless they edit their options.
