is it the same for everyone else, or just me. I'm sure there must be more than one page of threads but can only see one.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Where (I presume) it'll say 'show threads from the last day', click the scroll-down menu and choose something such as 'show threads from the last month'.
Voila.

Nope it just says previous or next thread, usually there are numbered tags for previous pages.

Just take Lady Wilnelia Forsyth (aka TerryM22) off your ignore list?

Hehe I worked it out in the end
