Hi there.
I'd like to know how do I make older articles available through the main page. How to archive them and display a link for their indexes.

I've been searching for older topics on this issue (actually I spent 5 hours last night reading the posts and trying to fix this) and I couldn't find anything explaining how to archive the old topics like http://www.themoviesplanet.com/  and http://www.cafedoom.com/forum/index.php

In other words, what I want to do is to show the older articles in pages, like this:

Pages: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...

If you take a look at the bottom of those websites, you can notice that the webmasters have organized the older articles in pages.. How to do that? Where do I activate that?

I'm using the lastest version of both SMF (RC3) and TP (0.9.5) and the Babylon Theme. ( www.thelinkguru.com )

PS: If you take a look at my website, it only shows 5 articles (i intended to do so) but there's no link to the older articles.

Article manager, create a new category and name it archive or something, then check in your browser what category number you got for the new archive category, thats the link to the Archive :)  Then move your articles you want to archive in to that category.

When you place it EG: in your site map you just link to the cat number you just saw in the browser :) like /forum/index.php?cat=100

Hi. Thanks for the fast support but it is still not working...
I tried it b4 and I did it again...

I've created a new category then moved all the other categories inside this one. (I can't move just the article because it wouldn't allow me to categorize the articles again. For example, I have several different post categories such as Gadgets (in which I post the last news about gadgets), site updates, funny videos, etc... And I want the older articles to still be found when clicked on Gadgets, Videos, etc)...

The category number is 19. I moved all the site articles/categories to this category #19 and it shows none when I point my browser to the cateogry 19.

What else can I do?
