Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
i've noticed that there's only 1 page of several categories (say general). do posts that have gone down past the bottom delete or do i just have a setting wrong.
scroll down a little and change how far back you want to go, 1 day, 2 days, last wee, last month, last year, or from the beginning, it is just below the last thread on the page.
You can also go into the User CP at the top of the page and change it permanently in your user settings. This way, you don't have to constantly scroll down and change everytime you open a new section of the forum. I think it is under preferences in the control panel.
