I am not sure as to this but think that there may be something in place to Automatically delete Posts that of a certain age! However as said I am not sure,i will have a word with Brian on this .??
I will try now and see if I can get older posts up !
Cheers

Re: Old Threads/Posts
Just looked in on that Forum Marian and I can get back to December 2014.
My own Threads (not post replies) go back to July 2008
My own Post Replies to others Threads go back to Jan 2015 it looks like a Limit of 500 Posts they automatically go!??
Your Threads go back to July 2012 when you joined
Your Reply posts go to 2014 Dec also shows Max 500
So looks like there is a limit put on the Database more than likely to save Bandwidth!
However Marian there is the Archives at Bottom of page ,this takes one back a lot futher!
Cheers
