General Archives

Why is General archives blocked from me, but not others? I wanna know

 

Sounds like a user permissions problem.

Can you take a screen shot?

 

Sure. Hold on.

Edit: Screenshots: #1: General archives icon not lit up
#2: No "Post new Thread" button
#3: "You have insufficient privileges to post here" <---(Why?)

 

That's normal, users aren't meant to post in the archive, it would just result on old threads being pushed to the top again.

 

Look at the "Last massage" Dates

 

Yeah, July, the threads are no longer active.

 

So they removed the archives from public in September? It seems the border is July 30th.

 

No,

the way the archives work, it is like a library of old threads.

Everyday, moderators and Admins move threads that are 1 month old or older to the archives. These threads will not be touched and cannot be posted in.

If you want to post in a thread that is in the archives, you have to request it to be moved out of it.

Most forums have some form of archives, whether it is visible or not.

 

Ahh! I see!

 

Thank you all for assisting the player with their question. As described above, threads that are no longer active/closed are periodically moved to the Archive area. These posts are still accessible to those who want to read them, but due to their age are no longer able to be added to. This helps keep the Forums clean with only active threads.
Does the OP have any further questions on this topic or may we close?

Closing as requested.
