Good question. If a forum has multiple pages, you can select an individual page using the selector found at the top and bottom right of the thread listing. If there is no selector bar, then either the forum has no additional pages or the default view is short and all the threads for that time period are on one page.

At the bottom of each forum are "Display Options". The one that affects the time frame for displaying threads is "From the". You can change that to a longer period if you want to see more threads than the default allows for that forum. Refresh the page if you make a change.

Some forums have shorter time periods for the threads than others. For example, the General Discussion forum displays threads from the last 2 months. Other forums may have longer or shorter display times.

If you want to change the display time for all forums instead of using the forum defaults, open your "User CP" in the menu at the top of any page; Under "Settings & Options" select "Edit Options"; under "Default Thread Age Cut Off" you can choose any time period you want to use for all forums; and be sure to "Save Changes" at the bottom of the screen.
