Folders randomly only show 8 topics.

Try changing your "Default Thread Age Cut Off" setting,

Settings > General Settings (box on the left hand side) > Default Thread Age Cut Off > Show all threads

That should display more threads when searching inside of individual forums.
 
Hi Ping. I don't know if this will fix what your asking about, but at the bottom of the Forum page where it says show threads from: Change that to Last Month, 45 days, 60 days etc. and it will pull up more. Mine is currently set at 2 weeks and it too shows 8 but if I change it to the Last Month I then get 15 etc. I hope this helps.
