Hello, 

First, a check, are the overridden DiscussionContainer.ascx "Register" paths pointing to your overridden controls or the MonoX ones? (also check all the paths up in the hierarchy)

I just want to jump in and check one more thing, Super, did you change the pager page size on the page where you instantiate the DiscussionContainer (Discussion Module) as this is the easiest and proper way to do it ?

Regards

Yes, like I mentioned above, I changed from "10" to "20" in the code that I posted above for

DiscussionBoard.ascx and DiscussionTopics.ascx

Since DiscussionContainer is actually using these 2 modules and changing page size in these 2 modules should do the job but it is not the case in my situation..

I still don't see page 20 on my site...when I go to my site: www.mydomain.com/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx

The discussion boards list change page after first 10...why?

Is your DiscussionContainer in WebPart zone ? If that is the case then you need to set this in the module properties, if not then you should do it in the page mark-up.

Setting up pager size in webpart settings did the job, thanks - I still don't understand why hardcoding it didn't solve the problem...

Because DiscussionContainer module is responsible for handling the data stored in personalization and then those values are propagated down to other controls/WebParts inside the container. Therefor your values are overwritten with values stored (event default ones) in the personalization.
