RetroTechDat Posted August 7, 2004 Share #1 Posted August 7, 2004 Have I just gone crazy but is there a whole bunch of threads missing on the 240k forum? I haven't been on this site for awhile now and I was certain that there was a lot more then 15 threads (16 now!)Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambikiller240 Posted August 7, 2004 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2004 I think there is something wrong with the database. I tried to look up some threads that I participated in back in 2003, and I could only find 500 threads that I've partisipated in. i KNOW that with 4,000 posts I've partisipated in more than that.

Gav240z Posted August 8, 2004 Share #4 Posted August 8, 2004 yeah many are missing but I'm sure Mike is still converting them or incorporating them into the new forum software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfadog Posted August 8, 2004 Share #5 Posted August 8, 2004 I just hope they don't get lost forever...!! Some awesome information in our archives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 9, 2004 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2004 Nothing has been lost. Are you guys taking a look at the reports and making sure they are showing all the data? Ie: Take a look at the view options, sometimes it will only show you the latest 30 days worth.... Sometimes it's a year... etc. Let me know.

Mike Posted August 9, 2004 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2004 Ok, I just did a quick check. Some of the forums are not displaying all threads from the "Beginning" as they should. For instance, if you open the 240k forum, it will show you threads from the "Last Month." This is an option I can change in the admin panel. Most of our other forums are set up to show all threads.Anyway, if you look for this option, it is at the bottom of the message list when you enter a forum. I also looked in the Open Discussions forum and found threads from year 2000 in there. So, I know stuff didn't get lost in the conversion.-- Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambikiller240 Posted August 9, 2004 Share #9 Posted August 9, 2004 It seems as there is a limitation of 500 "entries" for a given search. When I search using my User Name, selecting to "show results as posts" ( or "threads"), posts "from any date", and "at least zero replies"........the results are limited to 500 entries. Since I have 4K posts, there should be more than 500 "posts" shown.Even though I have partisipated in new threads over the past few days, the results still show a maximum of 500 entries (post, or threads), so it seems to me that there is a limitation on the amount of entries returned in a given search.PS: Thanks Marc!
