If this is the wrong place to ask this question, you have my permission to beat me with a big stick.
Sometimes when I go into the World Events forum, I only see nine to twelve of all the posted threads. This doesn't really affect my usage of the forum as all the "missing" threads are quite old, but it is something the piques my curiosity. Can anyone explain this?/Has this happened to anyone else?
Look in your User CP under Options for the option "Default Thread Age Cut Off".
I have, actually, and I'm using the forum default. I don't think I was clear enough earlier. It's only sometimes that this happens, and only the WE forum. I think the last time it happened was Saturday morning, I went to the forum and it only displayed nine threads. I went back later the very same day, and it displayed thirty two.
Like I said before, this isn't really and urgent issue, just some weird anomaly that I was curious about. But I appreciate the feedback :)
