I noticed that I can't get access to all threads of the board. For example the "rate my site" area has 700+ threads, but only 34 (two pages) are visible to me.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Have I missed to set up anything at the user command panel ?

By the way, same happens to me at the webdeveloper.com forum - e.g. the section about Perl has 1900+ topics, but I'm only able to access seven threads.
