Tony, I have noticed this as well. I'm not sure why it sometimes only shows the threads from the past day, or the past 30 days.Quote:

I'm not sure why it doesn't stay on this setting. :dontknow:

If an update is not available to fill a gap in the software, you will get hacked. You can not imagine the behind the scenes that Angie has put up with in the last couple of months. We had to switch the forum over. I agree, I'm not one for change, but it forces my mind to work :shocked04: but I am pretty computer illiterate :rofl: so it is hard.
I found a way to change the default for each forum to "show all threads" from the back end, so it should be set now. Thank you for your patience! :)
Good job! Thanks Angie! :happydance01:Quote:

Right now it seems to always be sorting them by thread title.
Okay, I reset all the forums to sort by thread start time and in descending order. (I don't know why they made the default to sort by thread title :confused: )Quote:

i am sorry if anyone took my post the wrong way what i meant was i have trouble navagating the forum as it was i was never one to use the computer much until i joined these forums have learned a lot but still a lot to learn sorry if my posts offended anyone that was never my intention dennis
No problem Dennis... I understand the frustration. Believe me, I didn't do this for my entertainment. :lol: We simply had no choice because the software plugins we were using on the "free" software were not being updated and were susceptible to hacking attacks. In fact, we had one such attack a few weeks before the conversion and it was lucky we did not completely lose the forum - that's how much damage it did.Quote:

Please keep an open mind if you can, and let me know if there are any questions or issues - I'll do my best to resolve them. :)

Some options may never be the same, but others may be even better. So hang in there and push a lot of buttons and see what happens :lol:
Thanks to all who manage and run the Forum, you guys listen and respond...only wish the Washington would do the same!:hystericallaugh:
