Your conferences will be more manageable if the number of active messages is
kept to a reasonable size. You can accomplish this by having WebBoard archive
messages when they exceed the limits you specify for each conference in the
Archiving section of the Add Conference form. The first
limit is how many messages. For example, to have only 25 messages in a conference
at a time, set the number of messages allowed to 25. The second limit is the
length of time to leave messages in a conference. For example, if you set the
length at 14 days, messages older than that are removed from the active database.
The oldest messages are stored first. Archived messages are removed from the
active database but may be retrieved by the WebBoard administrator, board
manager, and conference moderators.
To set the archiving options, follow these steps:
- In the Archiving section, enter a number (in numerals) in the Number of
Messages field. To choose no message archiving, enter zero.
- Enter a number (in numerals) in the Number of Days field. To choose no time
limit, enter zero.
