    Resolved [RESOLVED] "From The" view setting

    The codebank has the view settings set to show all posts from the beginning, but the VB FAQ section doesn't.

    Any particular reason for that?

    Unlike the CodeBank, the FAQ section has index threads which list all of the other threads.

    This means that in most cases for the FAQs, the best place to look is in the Index threads - as they have things grouped by topic, with longer explanations, and sometimes even links to similar articles.


    The FAQ section does show recent posts (2 days), I think the reasoning for that was so that people (particularly those who answer questions) are aware of new items being added, without having to search/subscribe.

    I'm fine with it now. I just thought it was weird that the codebank was set to display all threads and FAQ didn't.
