I'm afraid you can't there are limits set on the size of an individual forum and when they are reached another one is opened with the same title.

hey wait. what if you created a sticky within that thread?
then everyone can continue by going to the sticky and it should go on and continue by pages too?

nope never mind all that dose is turn the whole thread into a sticky.
Guess we have to wait for them to up it.

but I'll tell ya 50 pages is a tremendous thread.

There's a way, i think...

Go to General==> Messages and Emails

Under Allow topics titles color is that, what you're lookig for. Sorry, but i don't know, how is it called, cause i use another language... But this option will help you

HERE is something about some of the limits for the forums, they do miss a few though like the 50 PM's limit. the 990 is a set limit, it should spit though and leave a shadow topic.

You can't change it, and it's not 50 pages. It depends on how many posts per page you have set on your forum. After a thread gets about 1100 posts, it splits. The original thread is locked and rolls back to 990 posts, and a new one is created.

edit- actually, you might be able to just unlock the original thread and continue to post in it. try that

maaaaaaaaaaaan... I sure wish there was a way to change this!! My members are getting upset with me when a topic splits and locks and then they dont know which one to post in.

It kinda sucks to be honest but hey... I just hafta deal with it I guess!
