Fixed Thread list date limit unexpectedly affects sticky threads, too

[Steffen]

Affected version

2.0.2

The forum setting "Thread list date limit" ("list_date_limit_days") affects sticky threads, too. If the last reply of a sticky thread is older than the specified value then it's implicitly made not sticky. Since the "Thread list date limit" is essentially a performance optimization, I wouldn't expect it to affect the effective sticky state of threads. (Furthermore it worked differently in vBulletin.)

Thanks, this is sorted for the next release.

Just a quick question on 'Thread lists date limit' ... what happens to the threads that are removed, are they archived and still accessible by the members and search engines?

 

[Chris D]

Yeah there is a link to remove the limit on the last page and they will appear in forum search results etc. so nothing should stop members or search engines from finding the content.
