Thanks for the excellent message board and your help with the /msg/*.html problem of unable to post.
I now have need to increase the number of recent topics on the first page.
As you can see, I have increased the number from 15 to 35, but this has not increased the number of recent topics in the view.
As I said before, A WONDERFUL Message board which suits my needs perfectly.
Thanks,

Klemen,
I have somewhat narrowed my problem down. The earlier entries made to the threads.txt file are being deleted, as the newer entries are entered.
Is this a max thread limit setting somewhere I have overlooked?
I have tried to resolve this before contacting you.

I uploaded the original mboard.php---and after updating the settings.php--
maxposts=35----I am now able to view the entire contents of threads.txt
This may only be a temporary solution--until I reach 35 posts--then what??
As I have the mboard configured, ONLY replies to comments posted under the 3 MAIN Topics are allowed. I do not allow NEW TOPICS to be made by anyone but me---as you can see from the deletion of the NEW TOPICS and the NEW TOPIC fields

In massacreing--I mean modifying the board by removing the NEW TOPICS--have I deleted some code necessary for the Page 1,2 Next field to be written to the page???

Klemen,
My placement of your credit on my Agape Talk! message board,
is for me, a much more noticeable approach, don't you think?

Thanks,
Jake

Jake,

The $settings['maxposts'] is the one that says after how many postsit will start DELETING old posts (unless $settings['keepoldmsg'] is set to 1, in that case it will still delete old posts from the main page but keep the HTML files on the server).

You should increase the $settings['maxposts'] to say 100 and you should have enough space for recent topics.

Thanks for the extra visibility

Klemen,
You have been outstanding in your work, and I could not have expressed my gratitude any other way.
I am learning, and will always remember your kindness to a NEWBY!!!

Klemen,
Where can I find the code for all *.msg.html files global background setting. I want each to have the same background as the 1st Recent Topics page.

Klemen,
Thanks for the informative link, I MUST DO A MUCH BETTER JOB NEXT TIME ON FINDING THINGS ON MY OWN----UH-HUH!

Everyone is astounded by the board----MANY THANKS TO YOU!

One other thing that has just escaped my shallow search---
I want to increase the SIZE of those little squares and o's that mark or separate the TOPICS from the REPLIES on the 1st TOPIC screen.

You have been such a wonderful help, that I am even remiss to ask for more of your expertise---as I will soon learn more!!

Thanks,

[Klemen]

I'm afraid not (at least not in any simple way), because there is no database that would serve as a basis for rebuilding.
