For most of your forums the drop down show topics list is set to show topics posted in the last week.

If you change this to 'All' you will see all the topics in that forum.

The default for the drop down list for each forum can be set in theadmin  area for each forum on the forums setup page where you setforum title etc.

I am using access. the database is outside the root.
The funny thing is that the forum reads the correct number of threads
in the Topics column but when you go in to a forum there are only a few threads.
I have downloaded the database and it seems ok.
Any other ideas?

What database version are you using??

If it is access make sure you have the database outside of your webroot where it can not be downloaded or over written through a webbrowser.

Make sure that all admin and moderator passwords are changed and difficult to guess.

Make sure that someone hasn't accidently overwritten the database through FTP with an old back-up copy.

Access often becomes corrupted and does loose keys etc. a compact and repair on the database may sort out the problem.

Lastly, if you are using Access, DON'T switch to MS SQL Server which ismuch more secure, handle more connections, and doesn't get corruptedall the time like Access.

Urgent!!!
 
I was taking a walk through the forum this morning and had a bit of a freak out. Most of the posts are missing.
Thankfully the database seems intact but I am no db expert.
This really is worrying. Any ideas?
