Wordpress Pagination showing same posts on all pages - php

Question

On this page here, I'm using the following php code to show the posts:
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($args);
if( have_posts() ) :?>
<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' );?>
<?php
$withThumb = 5;
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if ($withThumb-- > 0) { ?>
<div class="post-thumb-title">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(632,305));?>
<p class="thumb-title2"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<p class="news-date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></p>
<div id="post-excerpt">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="post-title">
<p class="thumb-title2">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
The issue is that if you click on "Older Posts", it shows the same posts and not the older ones.
It does the same when you open the 3rd page, 4th page and so on.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

You need to add the page number to the arguments of the query_posts() call.
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args['paged'] = $paged;
query_posts($args);
See the documentation.
Note: If you've already defined $args and as a string not an array, you'll want to concatenate &paged=page_number_here, instead of adding a new key-value pair.
