Just wondering, do pm's automatically get deleted after they become one year old as I seem to be missing a couple I suddenly need #-o and the ones that are left are almost exactly a year old. Just curious..
 
I had been keeping certain pm's that contained member's addresses in the hopes of compiling a spreadsheet with said addresses. I finally got around to it this evening and found that a couple of the pm's had vanished! Without a trace! #-o
Anyway, I got curious if this was the case?
 
There is no setting to delete PM's after a certain time.

The only thing I can think of - in the User CP under "Edit Options" there is a "Default Thread Age Cut Off" setting. Is this set to the last year ?
 
I located the "Default Thread Age Cut Off" setting and it was set to 'use forum default'. I've now changed it to 'show all threads'..
