Hi and happy new year everyone!
I really hate stupid thread titles and so apologize for this one, I know it's terrible. But I just couldn't think of a better one.

I have a vB 3.7.4 with one registered user (admin1) and no forums or posts. Using Impex, I have imported all data from a phpBB3 forum.
I did all the steps described in the readme and the forums are all showing up fine.

And here comes the weird part:
admin1 sees ALL threads in all of the forums. But any imported user only sees SOME threads.
Example 1: Forum 1 has 18 pages of threads. admin1 sees them all. All imported users can only see 2 pages of threads.
Example 2: Forum 2 has 13 threads. admin1 sees them all. All imported users can only see 2 threads.

It can't be a permissions issue. If it were, then the imported users wouldn't see any threads instead of just some of the threads.

What could possibly be the cause of this strange behaviour?

Check the forum manager for the "Default View Age".

Bingo!
It was the setting in the member profiles for the default thread age cut off thingy. All working perfectly now! Thanks! :)
