More posts per page?

kevinf · Mar 16, 2012

Anyway we can up how many posts we see on a thread?

That used to be an option. However, some changes were made that allow us to only see 10 posts per thread (on a page). I liked the option to see more posts as well. In the overall scheme of things, it's not a big deal but I see what you are saying....

+1 ... ten is to few. I'd like to see it bumped up to 25

I agree with you guys, as I asked the same question after it was changed.

+1 more post per page please

kevinf · Mar 16, 2012

yeah, it's not that big of a deal. I wasn't sure if the option was hidden somewhere else.

I would also like to see the number of threads per page increased as well, but posts per page is higher on my list.

Why can't it be a user option? Sometimes when the threads are very long such as 30,50,100 pages it becomes time consuming reloading each page. I tend to not read them because of this. I would guess that most would leave the default where it is but on the longer threads woulds be nice to increase at my option.

Thanks for the consideration.

The reason the option was eliminated is because it speeds up the site by making things easier on the server. Having to transfer less data with each individual page query saves a lot of bandwith in the long run seeing as several people will just read the last page of a thread. While it would be nice to see more posts per page, I'll take a few extra page loads over the site running painfully slow like some of the *ahem* "other" forums.

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe paid members get this option? A way to generate more income to get more bandwidth.

revhtree · Mar 16, 2012

The income is not the issue. I will see what I can do about increasing the page views.

revhtree · Mar 16, 2012

You now have an option.

Thanks for the change and quick decision making. Looks like I can change it to 20 max, right? When I changed it I had and error about the URL jump. I had to put something in there so I could save it.

Thanks again.
