Just thought I would ask but is anyone else having issues reading older articles on this forum?

For instance the tarty tackle link seems to have disappeared when you go back through them. I remember also seeing an excellent review on reels under the reviews section and that doesn't seem to be there, I think there was a rod pod review as well and I think that has gone too.

Just wondering if this is the same for everyone?

You mean older threads?
They disappear after a couple of years. They still show up on a google search but link to the home page. Shame really, some great threads lost.

If you know more or less what you wanted i am pretty sure Karlos has the data backed up to save "live" server space.
as said if not live after 2 years they get archived

There is always the WayBackMachine: https://archive.org/

If you know what you are looking for there might be an archived copy there... they have 80,000+ captures from Carpforum.

Threads which receive no new posts for x months (can't remember what x is off the top of my head) get archived.
This is to try and keep the main database smaller/faster.

Nowadays with faster hardware / hosting maybe I can STOP this from happening...it might not be needed anymore.

Maybe I can tweak some things and get old threads back in, watch this space...I'll add a To Do to my list

Regards,
Karlos

Cheers Karlos,

There was some really good threads in the review section that have vanished, I remember someone doing a review on a set of ISO reels and there being a good review about rod pods, all amazing reads and very thorough.

Appreciate anything you can do. 👍

From what you've said, some of the threads might deserve transposing into an actual article...and sticking in the articles section (which I should revamp and add to / promote better)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
