    Re: "Programming Talk" posts more than 4 weeks old

    Actually, I have noticed in some sub-forums the oldest dates are shown as "4 weeks ago".
    I think this stems from when the forums were down intermitedly about "4 weeks ago" and some maintenance was done to the data-base.

    I've also noticed this:
    Most users ever online was 43,695, August 5th, 2010 at 10:14 AM.
    When actually IIRC it was 1 year and 4 weeks ago that this occurred.
    Not a big deal, it just bugs me, because I know differently, same with the dates in some sub-forums.

    Not sure if anything can be done or needs to be but, It can cause confusion if someone is trying to find posts in a certain time frame.

    ps in the link given the oldest date shown to me IS "4 weeks ago".
    AH-HA the posts within the threads DO have the correct dates

    I found the solution myself.
    User CP --> Edit Options --> Default Thread Age Cut Off
    In the drop down menu, "Use Forum Default" was selected previously.
    I changed it into "Show all threads". Problem solved. Now I am able to get links to all the pages
