UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support How long will messages stay?

I started with the free UBB and upgraded to the UBB 6.5 which I am pretty happy with other than a few things I think could be greatly improved.

One of my questions is, I don't want ANY messages to eb dlated, I want to keep an archive of EVERY post. Does UBB 6.5 have a setting somwhere where it starts to delete old posts as new posts are made? I don't want to lose any of these posts, there is some great writing that goes back several years.

It looks to me like some of the posts from long ago have dissapeared or are being deleted? IS this an auto settig or am I losing my mind? Someone once told me UBB starts eleting posts over 1000 days old. I do NOT wnatthis to happen!

Thanks,

There are no automated processes that delete messages - it takes an action by a human to delete messages, either individually or en masse.

The "DaysPrune" in the query string is a legacy term (that we keep hanging onto because we like it <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) that only changes how many active days of posts are visible. Also, the 1000 just means "show all" instead of actually restricting to 1,000 days of posts.
