I have unsuccessfully tried a number of times to change my "preferences". When I go to a topic, my preferences says "view last 5 days". When I go to change my preferences, it says "from the last day". I change it to view "the last 2 days" and then I go back to a topic and it says "view the last 5 days". I then go back to preferences and it says my preference is "view the last day". I really do not want to see the last 5 days of topics when I view a specific thread. I am not sure what anyone else is experiencing, but if one gets 5 days regardless of what their preferences say, then here is a contributor to server slowness.
