Yep - I completely forgot about the drop-out "feature" of the forums.
Found out the hard way on that one - suggest if anyone has some important
info they wish to hang onto - print it, download, or save it some way on
your own. An inactive thread will apparently "go away" forever after 1-yr 2yr?
(good question for the Mod on that one).
Yes, that too.
But, I was refering to another problem. When I post a photo, it actually has a link embedded to a photo hosting service. In my case, it is Photobucket.com. Sometimes one of our posters will direct us to another web site - like Tripod or, in my case, my personal web pages on Comcast.net.
Now, if I do not maintain my hosting site or choose to take the images down, the link from this thread to such a site is "dead". There are some early links I provided to a personal web page that are gone - I had to delete them to make room for newer material.
Thus, some of the past archival material is no longer accessable.
Now, as for what the keepers of the forums do with old(er) threads is a different issue. I "think" all of our stuff from March 2005 to present is still here. But, I have noted that the search function doesn't work well in finding older postings. It is like the index used to search only works well for the past few months.
Yes, maybe one of our moderators can shed some light on this. Hopefully MELM or another may be reading and add their insight?
