I was just having a scan for a knife I bought on here a few years ago and noticed the Makers threads are purged after a few weeks. Why is that, is it to keep disk space down on the server or is it to save the makers getting requests for sold gear ?

Just curious :)

Have you used the advanced search?

Under 'Search Options' is 'Find Posts from' and below that are two clickable boxes. The left hand should say ' Any Date' and the right 'and Newer'. If you click on the arrow on the right hand side of 'and Newer' it will give you the choice of 'and Older' - that's the choice you want.
It will also help if you select 'makers market' in the bottom right of the screen - other than that you just do your normal search.

Hope that makes some semblance of sense and helps.

ive noticed that the out and about section you can only browse back about 4 pages of threads yet there are thousands of threads in there, so to find what you want you have to use the search... perhaps a related issue ?

Stoo.
