Once a thread drops off the bottom of the 30th page of a forum, it falls into that forum's archives. Threads in the archives can still be replied to, but they don't kick back up to the top of the forum.

The first thread linked to in your OP was posted on July 21 so it was still active in General Discussion when you kicked it. But the second thread was posted on July 11, and I believe the last reply in the thread before you tried to kick it back up was July 12. It would have already fallen into the GD archives.

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

Not sure what EarlG will say, but my understanding is that as long as a thread hasn't slipped off page 30 highplainsdem Jul 22 #5

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
