tested it with an LBN thread I posted back in June with only 1 reply and it cycled back to the top of LBN.
Think that is the correct answer.
"5. Not sure what EarlG will say, but my understanding is that as long as a thread hasn't slipped off page 30

of the board in each forum, replies will kick it back to the top of the board.
It can be only days before a thread drops off page 30 in GD, but a very long time in less active forums.
Each time a thread is kicked back to the top of the board, it can again slide as far as the bottom of page 30 and still be kicked. How old the OP is doesn't matter. It's all about how old the previous reply was and whether that had been recent enough to keep it on the board.
Threads pinned to the top of a board will get new replies indefinitely, if they're not locked.
Anyway, that's how every board I've run worked, and how DU seems to work."
My reply ...
6. Think that might be the answer, just kicked an old post of mine in LBN from early June ...

and it went to the top of the forum ... page 30 of GD is from July 14th.
When you look at the bottom page of a forum with the the page numbers it only goes to 30, then "archives."
Mystery solved, thought I might need new glasses.
Thank you!
