This is my favourite topic
Posted May 16, 2015
Particularly a question I asked about an old game. that was correctly answered. I don't remember the name of it but I know the question was in my favorite topics and is gone.

Most likely it's on the archive now

Yup, GOG decided that after breaking the account section of the site the forum was feeling left out, so they moved every thread that hasn't had a post in 2015 into the archive and broke everyone's favourites in the process. The thread will be in the archive somewhere, but that doesn't help if you can't remember the title (I can't remember the titles of mine either... that's why I favourited them!).

Oh bummer yup I lost most of my favorites too :( It looks like you can favorite stuff in the Archives thread, but if you're like me you don't remember the thread names.

I know I had one bookmarked that had to do with spiffing up the visuals in Arcanum via mods, and another where quite a few users gave me a few helpful hints on partitioning just in case I end up doing that.

Also, my first GoG Mafia game and my first hosted Mafia game saved for the memories! ;)

I just noticed something! Go to the first forum "Community" page when logged into your account. On the right hand site, at about the page midpoint you'll see your favorites from before archiving!

Has anyone else just now had old bookmarks turn up in the archive? I was just hunting in there when my old bookmarks appeared suddenly; presumably they're being transferred over right now.

I knew this wasn't going to go smoothly. :P

Yup, I've just moved archived bookmarks to the archive forum.

Or you just go to the archive, and your old favourites will still be favourited. Well, <t least mine were when I checked just now, it's certainly possible they weren't when this thread was started.

Venom just fixed it. ;)

Venom: ...
Now if you could just allow posting in the archive everything would be great. :P

Seriously though, there are some threads that were archives of sorts and still get updated. The Metroidvanias thread is an example of that, but that one was saved from archiving by a well timed bump. Is there any way we can petition to have select threads un-archived?

Apparently, yes. Though Venom's post wasn't there when I wrote that.

Archived threads are not editable, and can't be un-archived. You can always start a new thread and link to the archived one.

When does anything else ever get moved to the 'archive'? Are all threads on a 12 month activity count-down until archival now or is this more or less a one off until performance is an issue again?
