If you do not like the way the threads are displayed in a FlyerTalk forum, don’t just sit there and settle — change the way you view them!

Simply navigate to the desired forum and scroll down to the bottom-left corner of the page below the list of threads. A box listing Showing threads X to X of X (X=a random numerical value) alerts you as to which threads in that particular forum one is currently viewing.

One can sort how they view the order of threads in a particular forum by Last Post Time (which is the default), Thread Title, Number of Replies, Number of Views, Thread Starter and Thread Rating.

All of the above choices are further enhanced by listing the threads in ascending or descending order and — as in the old version of FlyerTalk — one can choose to view threads from Last 10 Days (which is the default* of my choosing), Last Day, Last 2 Days, Last Week, Last 2 Weeks, Last Month, Last 45 Days, Last 2 Months, Last 75 Days, Last 100 Days, Last Year or Beginning, which views every thread ever posted to that particular forum.

*To change the default of the time period of threads to be viewed:

1. Simply go to the Edit Options area on the left of the MyFlyerTalk page, which is the last option under the Settings and Options area on the left and scroll down to the Thread Display Options area, where one can find the Default Thread Age Cut Off area.
2. Click on the Default Thread Age Cut Off pop-up list to choose the desired timeframe of viewing threads.

The choices in the pop-up list are exactly the same, except Use Forum Default and Show All Threads, which will show every thread from the beginning tothe most recent.

Now that there is no longer a FlyerTalk Archives in the new FlyerTalk and all of the archived threads have now been re-incorporated back into their original respected forums (fora?), searching from the Beginning means just that!
