Good morning Marion!
Two remarks: The time stamp of my last posting is "Today, 12:33 AM", a problem with the time zones? I couldn't compare it with older postings as only the new ones have the time stamp.
And this forum is empty when entering it, but the forum page announces 3 topics.
Happy whitsun
Christoph
Edit: On my other computer it's marked 10:33 PM?!
You have to set your own time zones in your settings.
Let me check on your other concerns... Be right back... 
Yes, you are right about it being empty, except for this posting, but I believe I may have topics set to expire after so many days in this section. I will go in and look. I changed a few parameters within certain sections, after we upgraded a few weeks ago. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for information. My time zone is and was set, I was only astonished what is 12:33 AM instead of 0:33 AM, but now it's clear.
