1) New member comes to kixtart.org and creates a new bbs profile.

2) By default (and I don't know what the actual value is) ... his "Show topics from last N days" setting gets set to 30 days.

3) New member goes to our shiny new UDF forum and only sees abouts 2 pages of UDF's ... the rest of them are buried (hidden) by the timestamp filter ... in about a month or so, they'll probably only see 1 page ... then who knows, if no activity for a while, maybe no pages !!!

Of course, if the member goes to the dropdown box and selects "Show all topics", the problem goes away ... but who remembers to do that (especially new folk) ?

This begs the question - can we set the default Show topics setting to "Show All" for the UDF forum ... my gut feeling says no, but I thought this was worthy of mentioning.

Maybe Rogier, you can include a paragraph in a FAQ or in the GUILDELINES that mentions this fact. I think the UDF search feature is ok becuase the default there is "Any Date" ... unless I'm mistaken about that.
