Sometimes you may visit a discussion topic and there doesn't seem to be any discussion or less discussion than when you visited the topic last.  This may be due to the often overlooked Show topics boxSee below.  The default setting is "Show topics from last 30 days" So any discussion that is older than 30 days does not appear.   The Show topics box allows you to select the number of topics by date.  In most cases you should select "Show all topics" by clicking on the arrow to the right of the box.  The setting should stay at your last setting, but if you are using a different computer, you will have to reset the show topics box again.
