Searching & reviving old posts

[spockoda]

Sorry I have started some topics that already have been brought up,but sometimes the search doesn't seem to show them all the time and time prevents me from looking through each page. And sometimes,I just need a seeing eye dog .

One thing I noticed is that the default setting for the search duration is 10 days, or something ludicrous. I always set that to 1000. Otherwise, don't worry about it-make them Mods earn their pay!!

I think they should be re-brought up sometimes, seeing as how we have so many new members that have joined or are in the process of joining.

I had a look through the admin section and I don't think there is a way to set the proboards search to anything else. I agree a 10 day search is kinda stupid.

Once Proboards gets a Merge Thread function it will help allot, in the meantime if someone makes a post on a subject that is already there, I just post a link to the old one and lock the thread, deleting it about a week later.

Actually bringing up some of the older threads is a good idea, I try and make new posts in some of them whenever I come across some good info.

I was gonna start a new thread for this, but it kinda fits here. When an older thread is brought up, sometimes posts, or even pages of post are missing. But, I have seen threads as old as '95. I don't get it. Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that?

What has happened over time, is that some members had decided they had given out to much information on certain figure lines (making them more popular which increased prices on Ebay for them) and went back and deleted some of their old posts. Not something I would bother to do, but there are members here who feel this way. Some threads are worse than others with the Galaxy Fighters/Warriors" thread being one of the worst (from what I found in the security logs). Also over time, dead pics have been deleted and such.
