The Mystery of the Disappearing Posts [answered]

[scythe.]

hello!
I was checking on some threads today, and noticed that a lot of threads (mostly ones with a lot of posts) had lost a significant number of pages.
For example, on the ‘my posts’ page, the Fair Trade thread has over 800 pages, which isn’t a sudden drastic increase or anything. However, when I go to the thread, it’s only got 150 pages or so, and the first post is not the rules post made by the mod who set up this iteration of the thread, but a normal user asking for trade advice. I’ve noticed it on larger threads in the trading forum, threads in forum games, and other website discussion... and the oddest thing is, the oldest post seems to be from March 30th, 2019 on many threads but yesterday’s date on others.

What the heck is going on? Is it just me?
(Tech info for anyone who may need it: I’m playing on the iPhone safari browser, though I’m using the CS business non-mobile skin.)

Make sure your Display options under My Account -> Board Preferences are set to ‘All topics’ / ‘All posts’ — otherwise you’ll only be able to see them ore recent posts and topics, which would explain why you can’t see the first several pages of the FTT.

ah, well now I feel a little silly! I guess now I know what that does, haha.
Thank you so much!
