How do I redisplay a News thread on portal page?

[iSnaKe]

On our site the new News forum threads display on the vBa CMPS portal page for the specified number of days. Works great. Is there a way to redisplay a thread that has gone past the specified number of days on the portal page again?

Using vBulletin v3.7.2 pl2

Make it sticky?

[iSnaKe]

I thought about that too. I'll try it but not sure if there's a better way.

[iSnaKe]

Actually that wont work. I already have 2 stickies in that forum and they dont display.

Would seem like the easiest solution to me. Alternatively you could either copy all the content to a new thread. (if you want to keep the posts)

There might be another solution for it in vba, but this seems like the easiest solution to me.

[iSnaKe]

Copying the thread didnt work. Which kinda surprises me. I do want to keep the posts too. Does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions?

Sticky and merge dont work either. I guess I'll just create a new thread and copy each post over.

You could use the News Archive module to display a condensed list of threads past those shown in the News module.

Will this allow the threads to stay displayed on the portal page past the 'Cut-Off Date'?

[Brian]

No, but you can increase the cut-off date so those older threads would be able to stay around in the archive.

Thanks Brian.
