unable to view topic older than 30 days

[Cornolio]

Topic older than 30 days disappears... : i select "show threads" for "last 2 months" and when i click for a old page which have those thread (ie : http://www.discutere.it/forumdisplay.php?f=2&page=3 ), it redirect me to the last threads of the last 30 days

something to do in the admincp? i didn't change any options till the installation (october).... but i remember that on december it was still working (i could see topics older than 30 days)

please help..

Try setting all forums to show all threads by running this query:

UPDATE forum SET daysprune = -1

After running this query you need to run this counter:

Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Forum Information

the query returned an error, but it seems it worked

thanks!

i was wrong, it doesn't work

error number: 1146
error description : Table 'Sql49277_1.forum' doesn't exist

You probably have a table prefix set in config.php. You need to alter that query to include this prefix.

[Cornolio]

you're right. it worked once but the second time i choosed "last 2 month" or else it represented the same problem

[Steve Machol]

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Please explain.

it worked once (i selected "show threads" for "last 2 months", than clicked on an old page and it showed me it), but then i tried it (select "show threads" for "last 2 months") in another forum and it redirect me to the last threads of the last 30 days

so i can't see old threads

[Steve Machol]

Still not clear. Have you checked this setting in yourt User CP?

[Cornolio]

:dunno: i mean that there is still the problem...

in my user cp is set "last 30 days". ok, if i set "from the beginning" in user cp, the forum returns me all the topics, but i remember that months ago i had in my user cp "last 30 days" and when i selected in the forum "show threads" "from the beginning" i was able to see old threads. now i can't do this

i hope i've explained it clearly

[Steve Machol]

Sorry but that was pretty confusing too.

Have you installed any hacks (including portals) or added any code to the footer, headinclude, header or phpinclude templates? If not, fill out a support ticket at:

Be sure to include the login info to your Admin CP, phpMyAdmin and FTP. I

It seems your forums are auto-pruning threads older than 30 days, To fix this, goto Thread & Posts > Prune in your Admin CP, and set all numbers to 0 in date options.

This should work.

If you are setting that in the Forum Manager, then you need to set it for each forum manually. If you edit one forum, that change will not affect the other forums.

The query will change all forums at once.
