5. Not sure what EarlG will say, but my understanding is that as long as a thread hasn't slipped off page 30

of the board in each forum, replies will kick it back to the top of the board.

It can be only days before a thread drops off page 30 in GD, but a very long time in less active forums.

Each time a thread is kicked back to the top of the board, it can again slide as far as the bottom of page 30 and still be kicked. How old the OP is doesn't matter. It's all about how old the previous reply was and whether that had been recent enough to keep it on the board.

Threads pinned to the top of a board will get new replies indefinitely, if they're not locked.

Anyway, that's how every board I've run worked, and how DU seems to work.

Question about GD threads and replies .... [View all] cliffside Jul 22 OP

Old threads do not get kicked to the top. Your second link is ten (10) days old Bernardo de La Paz Jul 22 #1

Thank you! Do you know if the limit is ten days? nt cliffside Jul 22 #2

I don't know what the limit is, but it is more like 48 hours, I think. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 22 #3

Appreciate the reply and makes sense! Earl would you tell us what the limit is please, just curious now? nt cliffside Jul 22 #4

Think that might be the answer, just kicked an old post of mine in LBN from early June ... cliffside Jul 22 #6

Thanks. That also has a sense to it. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 23 #7
