Yesterday I wanted to search again for a topic where I had replied. I did not remember the title but the subject well and, above all, that it was an "old topic"(=over a year). These topics are not visible in "Find My Content" probably escaping the memory of even those who reply to reopen a speech that wants to bring a new point of view and that is unable to duly inform if not for a short time (in "Todays Active Content" it disappears after a day from the first page and in the sub-Forum to which it belongs it lasts a little longer but after a search that sometimes requires the change in "Filter Option" that many don't know how to do) if are in subsequent pages. Therefore, I ask that these "old topics" be made visible in "Find My Content" to which everyone refers for a general search, changing the time reference and starting from when someone replies and, therefore, by-passing the "cut of the year "which starts from that moment for another year or by creating a link that always records them in" Find My Content " when they are brought to attention. In this way, it would not lose the information you want to advertise and which can be useful for BBFs.I hope that this one be as soon as possibile applyed.(Lovera)

We're running an old, unsupported version of the forum software. There are no plans to upgrade it any time soon (migrating our customizations for the hand editor and viewer is complicated), so we're stuck with the way it works.

Can it be done in the forum configuration?

I have thought this one just now. Is it possible ? And in that way ? Acting with what indication and where (i.e. in the answer via Reply) ? So, if there is a way, almost the topic can be inserted in my content.

In all of the versions near yours, the line of code that does this when searching user content is:

$this->settings['search_ucontent_days']	= ( $this->settings['search_ucontent_days'] ) ? $this->settings['search_ucontent_days'] : 365;

So it does look like 365 is a configurable setting by a forum admin without any upgrades necessary. While Google search is a potential alternative, it makes it hard to distinguish posts I've started and ones I've posted in, so I do agree the 365 limit is a bit annoying.

Where or how is possible to see that string ?

Since it seems to me that even now you can have the possibility of being able to fully view an "old topic" not only in the sub-Forum but also in "Find My Content" by inserting this strip (see it in Reply or Edit) that begins and ends with [code] (which should be a BBCode) by changing the term ": 365" with another value of time, it would be the case to have more information on how to proceed (= where and how to insert or write what) correctly, thanks.

The topic I was talking about is "slam judgment" by AL78 in Interesting Bridge Hands which, having been opened on 1/18/20 and ended displaying in Find My Content (= FMC) after a year(=1/17/21). You can see again why I made a reply to my previous post to verify the "[timestamp]" data which in my first reply is the same as the one in # 1(=if you click on Reply) as it changes in my last reply. Can we act on this data? As you can see (when you have to write) just above it is indicated "+ [Mail]" (= add in Mail): it can be created, as for Delete, "+ FMC" (= add in FMC) to be able to view it with duration (apart from these regarding the cut of the year) always one year of the whole topic?

I think I found this setting in the configuration:

Quote

Limit "Posts/Topics by this user" results to X days
If you have a large post or topic database then you may wish to restrict the search to X days past the user's last post date. So if the user last posted in March and you entered 30 days, it would start looking from February onwards.

I increased it from 365 to 1000 so you should be able to search back almost 3 years for your content.
