I didn't know you purged the posts, I was hoping to find the ones regarding the 3 o'clock gas gauges and and a few other wiring questions that were asked as these are some issues I have to fix on my list.

it would help to keep those around longer

Nothing has been purged or moved. Except this post, I'm putting it in site discussion...

What is happening is the days worth of posts to display is set too low in your UserCP. To fix this use the UserCP link (upper left) Then scroll down to "Edit Options" (on the left), scroll down to "Thread Display Options" and set the Default Thread Age Cut Off to 10 day or more and scroll to the bottom and click "Save Changes"

That will fix it so you see anything less than 10 days old.

Back in the olden days we USED to purge threads just to keep the servers clear. There's no need now. And we never purged anything of value or threads that had replies to it.
Fear not! All the information worth reporting is here somewhere!

Thanks for the tip on the CP settings. when I have time I like to go back and read old posts so I set it to show all posts.

Thanks for all the work and providing this website.
