Is there some new purging going on with the new software? I was looking for a thread in international and only 12 threads are showing. No page 2. Normal or just me?

Go down to the bottom of the page where the Display Options are.

Set "From the" to a longer time interval.

whee! Didn't even notice that button, thanks.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It always defaults to "last day's" posts for some reason, unlike the other forums.
