As posted earlier when you post something on to an additional post then this is brought to the top of the list (below any 'stickys'). Stickys are threads/topics that an admin member has made important enough so that it will always stay at the top of the list.
You still have to do a search though to find any threads/topics that may overtime drop down the list.
All the above is normal for forum software including this forum software.
Additional though, when doing a search within the
Search Forums
page, you have to remember to set the '
Max Age Since Last Post
' from the default
7
days to a larger number, about
100
,
200
or
300
days. If you know the thread/topic was only posted recently (eg a month ago) then you can of course reduce the days to a smaller number like 40 days instead.
It is also recommended to increase the '
Display How Many Results
' from
25
to a lot higher number. I generally choose a number around
100
.
As for the use of 087x numbers by some members (and myself), most (if not all) members generally only pass this number on to organisations/companies who themselves are using 087x numbers anyhow. It is a way of getting at them (one could even say revenge). I personally have an 0871 number and only pass it on to those companies that use 087x themselves and, to date, I have not made a penny from it. This personally doesn't bother me as my intention is not exactly to make money from them but just show them just how expensive it can be to ring these numbers.
