Perhaps you could describe your system a little more thoroughly. It's hard to fix a system which you know nothing about.

Well, I understand you are using PHP; however, I have no clue how you are storing the thread information. Are you using a database? MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Access, flat file, hard coded html?
Are you using any database classes such as ADODB?
Are you using any template classes, like Smarty or tinytemplate?

Hi.

If your using a MySQL database, you will most likely have a query where you fetch your data.

You can add to this qery a limit clause, to limit the data it returns to you.
Somwhat like this
[PHP]
// The number of posts to show on each page
$PostsPerPage = 5;

// The number of the page, say you have
// 15 posts and you show 5 per page
// and your user had selected page 2 of 3
$PageNr = 1; // 1 being page number 2 when counting from 0

// Your sql query
$QUERY = "SELECT * FROM mytbl LIMIT " $PostsPerPage * $PageNr .", ". $PostsPerPage;

[/PHP]

If you are not using MySQL you will have to give us much more detail on your system.
