Go to the box at the top right of the topic list screen - the box that says "show posts from last 20 days".
Change it so that it is "show posts from last 45 days" instead. All your old posts will reappear - it is just that the 2 week gap has pushed most of the posts beyond 21 days. I have checked and this works. I now have something like 12 pages of threads!
Oh, and this is my first post over here at W&W - just sticking my head round the door to have a look!
