Sticky topics somehow don't appear on the top of the forum anymore. Lolwut? Is this only my problem or does anyone else have this too?

It kinda sucks that "Display topics from previous:" is set to 3 months by default. Is there any way "All topics" can be made the default option or do I have to set it manually every time I enter a subforum?

EDIT. It looks like Guests also have 3 months as the default option. Annoying.

Also, shouldn't this, uhm, innovation be made more obvious to whoever browses the subfora -- like, shouldn't "Display topics from previous:" be placed on top, not at the bottom?

Derp?

What's the point of that "display topics from previous" function? I don't see any.

EDIT:
Okay disregard this thread I read the one in the supar sekrit staff subforum and know what's going on now.

Why exactly would you need to have 10 years of threads displayed every time you load a forum?

And no, the option to display more than an X period of posts is by default at the bottom of every forum software. Hardly any forums list every thread in existence by default. All that's good for is morons downloading the whole Codex and crawlers overloading the server merrily crawling the entire Codex history over and over again every few days.

Stickies not showing and old threads with new replies will be fixed, no need to start slitting your wrists over that.

Too late now. :(

Nah, just do fix the 'stickies not showing and old threads with new replies", and I'll be fine. Well, ideally, I'd love to set display preferences in the profile...

P.S. Also, downloading the whole Codex? WTF?

I seriously doubt DU would waste time on that. It'll be possible when we switch to the new forum software. Right now we just get a quick fix for the most pressing issues on this prehistoric phpBB.

If Taluntain and DU had put more into the server upkeep than an occasional strip of duct tape and an extra brick or two to help prop it up, this wouldn't be happening!

But NO, you both had to have the SOLID gold toilets installed!

What is to be the new software?

When did PHPbb become antiquated? It was awesome at the turn of the millennium . . .
