Where have all the ID threads gone? Are they gone forever?

LOl Smokenack the ID forum is still there, and all the threads are quite safe.

When you are in the Butterflies and Moths forum, you need to look above the big red New Thread button to see it.

Thanks Delia, but there are only 5 threads in there not the 8,345 that there should be.

How strange - I really don't know what you're seeing smokenack.

For me there are 3 stickies then a whole page of threads, and 883 pages of them!!

Ah wonder... thread display???

Can you scroll down the bottom of the page and see what the settings are. Maybe you have it to show only the last day/week.... or something. If you want to see them all, it should be set for "Beginning" I think.

Maybe you changed something in your User Control Panel recently.

Thanks.
That's resolved it for me. I too had wondered where they had gone - and I hadn't changed anything.

Wonder if it's your browser then? It won't have been BF that changed your settings; and it was displaying correctly for me..... PaleMoon.

Thanks Delia, thread settings was the culprit. I hadn't changed them myself either.

It looks like I have to reset it every time I log on, a bit annoying.

Can you go into your user Control panel and select Edit Options.

Scroll down until you come to Thread Display Options. Scroll to the bottom of that section > "Default Thread Age Cut Off" and make sure Show all threads is selected.

Then make sure you scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Save Changes.

See if that helps.

Thanks Delia, that seems to have done the trick.

Pheew!!! Thank goodness for that.

Do you remember what it had been set at before you sorted it?

For me I altered nothing, yesterday morning there were just five threads when I updated my Aus moths thread and by yesterday evening they were all back

Noticed the same thing, figured it was a yearly reset or something. I have never dared delve into settings or control panel here, besides when I first signed up and changed signature etc.
