After a thread hasn't been posted to for a while, it is deleted, correct? Could this feature be disabled on the cooking forum? There were some good recipes there which I never got to copy down, and now there gone.

The cooking section is a pretty low traffic area, so it's not like page after page would eventually fill up server space.

Thanks for the consideration.

If the post was made in the last year it should still be there. Try using the search function for the post you are looking for.... And you can also change your settings when you get on any forum from say....7-30 days to the past 365 days. That would be another option you may want to try. Hope this helps some.
