thedom Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I wa looking for a post and it seems that it doesn't exist any more. Does it mean that the messages are automatically deleted after a few days/weeks ?If it's the case, I suppose it's because of datas volume considerations but what a lost because the knowledge flies away...

ronwil Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I think you will find that a change was made to Invision Power Board in December 2002 and is probably the reason why you cannot go back any further. I have done a search for my posts and that is as far back as I can go.Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to Ron's note - assuming you are looking for one of your posts or one made since you began visiting the forum.Be sure you have your defaults set correctly to let you see all the posts. Scroll to the bottom of the opening screen (the first screen when you log on) and check on the lower right. There are settings for 20 days, 60 days, etc., as well as no limit.The actual p2e forums began in 1999 but as Ron said there were changes in 2002 - the old forums information is gone, but I'm guessing that's not what you are looking for?

Lin Evans Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks guys ! Btw, can you save the settings in your profile (about how old you want to see the messages) ?I "think" you can by going into the "control panel" then click on "archive messages" and change the default.I haven't tried to do it, but it appears that it "should" work.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 We keep and don't delete all messages.I have copy of old forum 2000-2002, but it's in Snitz 2000 format and no convertor to Invision Board format, it uses Windows technologies, we use Linux for forum hosting now.
