I posted this question on the "Technical issues" forum http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=909372&page=1&gonew=1#UNREAD on the very first day of the new BB and still haven't gotten an answer. One thing I did notice however is that when someone has a link to an old thread in their signature, that link does seem to take you into old threads. (I mean threads prior to the limit of the search function.) That seems to imply that they reside somewhere. Alas, I fear they may be lost. \:\( What a wealth of information. I almost can't stand to think about it. Like having your storage building burn down.

It could be that making those old posts available just hasn't been done YET, in the interest of getting the new board up and running. Maybe an email to the administrators is in order?

I post on another board regularly and have for over six years. That board has been upgraded several times, and each time, all past posts have been lost.
