Forums previous pages are gone

I'm just being curious.
What happened to all the previous pages of the "Shaving with a Straight Razor" forum?
They have somehow disappeared.

I can see back to 2005. Go to the bottom of the thread list and you can go back further by clicking on what you want to.

I can go back to the beginning if I go to the bottom of the page and use the "Thread display options." As soon as I navigate away from the page, when I return, the little page box numbers disappear from under the last post unlike most other forums where the previous page numbers stay there. I just didn't know if this function automatically resets itself after a given number of posts. I've never seen it happen before.

I believe I have the solution you are looking for. Please follow the steps below.

Towards the top right corner of any page, click on "Settings", between "Notifications" & "Log Out".
Wait for page to load.
On the left side, scroll down, most of the way down the various navigation bars.
Click on "General Settings".
Wait for page to load.
Roughly half way down the page, under the section titled "Thread Display Options". Therein lies the answer.
It is called "Default Thread Age Cut Off"

Enjoy your newfound rabbit hole, where you will get lost in reading random threads organized by "Last post", rather than searching for something specific.


I hope this helps!

Well-done, Crawler!
I suppose after several jillion threads, they must be organized in a different manner.
At least they are all there!

Bravo,thanks and "Hats off" to Crawler!!
I would have never guessed that it was a setting that could be adjusted and customized to an individuals liking.
Works like a charm!
