How to get list of all threads from the last X months?

EricG · 24 Mar 2025, 12:26 PM

I haven't signed in for months. Clicked on New Posts and got 10 pages. Opened some threads, ate supper. When I tried to get page 2 nothing!

Advance search lets me select last 3/6 months, but you must include search terms.

Ya I dunno how far it goes back.. Im not sure what Edwin has it set to....

On 1 site I am on I hadnt been on in over a year and when I clicked NEW POSTS I saw everything (Bold titles) since I was last there but I only saw that on 1 site...... Most only go back a couple months if that...

The only thing that I can suggest is going through the forums one at a time and under "Display Options" selecting "From The" = "Beginning", "Last Year", "Last 100 Days", etc. You can also choose various options under "Sorted By" such as "Thread Start Time".

Sorry, I can't be more helpful. As a moderator I too have a wish list of features that would make my tasks easier.

When using "New Posts" I usually open all of them in separate tabs and then read them, and if there are multiple pages in the "New Posts" search I at least open all these pages in separate tabs to not lose the links to the threads (and usually just before leaving the forums I click "New Posts" just to check if there's anything new added while I'm reading, because it might not count as "new" when I come back next time).
