seeing right number of threads

Ok. I was on the cafe society forum. It says there are only 250 threads in that section. But when I go back to the main forums page, it says there’s over 126000 threads.why is it that I can only see 250 threads out of 126000.

When actually in the forum, the count on the bottom of the page is based on your filter criteria. One of the filters is a date, limiting the threads to somewhat recent ones. Options are things like within the last two days, last week, last month, last year, or since the beginning. If you change that drop down to the beginning, and then click show threads, it should give you the accurate count, and a bunch of pages that you can scroll through.

Thank you very much.
