I think many threads in Recipes NEED to disappear after a year - especially those full of windy posts that should have been in Health & Beauty, General, Opinion etc

No - every thread that has not been added to within 45 DAYS will go from now on - lots more "bumping" going to happen soon - again ...

Just save any threads you specifically want kept to vmn, no one is going to be able to keep all threads 'bumped' ad infinitum.

Not quite correct...see the following from Trade me announcement:
"Automatically removing threads in 'Opinion & Politics' and 'General discussion' that have not had new posts added in the past 45 days: these categories often fill up quickly with large volumes of threads that are topical at a particular time, and then quickly lose relevance and are seldom accessed. This process won’t happen in a split second, but over the next day or so as the database updates. Note that threads in all the other categories that have not had a new post added within the past year are automatically removed"

I copy and paste the recipes to a folder in M word that I like. I also enlarge the font and have my laptop on the bench following the recipe. I should start taking a photo to add to the recipe. No worries that they will disappear.

You can't save to VMN anymore either.

Where did you read that lost-in-oz? The VMN founder said there'd be changes but hasn't said that he'd be stopping them being added. And I've just added this one.

Someone tried to save a thread the other day and it wouldn't let them.Maybe VMN just needed to update something to enable a save once TM made their changes??
**edit** Seems you can save them again.Good news.

also noticed today that the search has changed. Not sure if I click on "last year" if that brings all the posts I'm looking for which includes this year and last!!mmMmm

Its actually not such a bad thing to loose them after a while people can repost them on request but often this search thing just serves to kill discussion. I have a bit of a dislike for the board nazi's who tell so many newcomers who ask a simple question that they should search for the recipe as its all been discussed before.

I agree.It doesn't hurt to answer a question again for a newcomer.
It's good to see a host of new posters too.They bring a freshness to the boards.

Well, hopefully it will stop them being saved to that Circle of .... website that was blatantly copying half of Trade me.

I can think of another thread that fits the bill perfectly for removal. It hasn't got a single thing to do with food and lots to do with dreary gossip and sad lives.

I know the one,lol. I have been busy saving what I need to some where else. I joined a blog on vinegar the other day. Hard case site but I will see how it goes.

Sounds as though the poster is as avid follower...like those people who say they don't watch Coro but let slip that they know who Gail Platt is ;)

I sometimes tell people to check if I've seen a thread recently but always in a polite way. There is no need to be so 'know it all' about it.And those that say "google is your friend"...did they even stop to consider that you may have had a fight?

Google is my friend, but we have a love/hate relationship ;)
