    How do I set Display Options to automatically show all threads from the "Beginning"?

    How do I set Display Options to automatically show all threads from the "Beginning" for all users? Seems like the default is "Last Month". Some of my forums are not very active, and I'd like to make sure users see all the threads in each forum since the beginning by default so they don't miss anything by accident.

    Thanks.

    Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Default View Age

    Set this for each forum.

            Run this query on your database:

            UPDATE forum SET daysprune=-1

            After running this query, you need to run this counter:

            Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Forum Information
