The Number Of Posts Per Page In A Thread
on: August 14, 2010, 12:46:27 PM
Just wondering if many people stick the forum defaults  :think:

For example; the number of posts per page in a thread is 15 as a default. In the Got Paracord that equals 44 pages. I've changed the settting to 100 posts per page and it is down to 7 pages  :tu:

This is one of the first things I do if joining a forum is play about with the settings. Is there a disadvantage to having the max amount shown? If it is a pic heavy thread it does take 'a bit' longer for the pics to come through but it's worth it :D

Another small problem is when someone says 'check the post on page 6', I don't know where I am lol  :ahhh

I stick with the default mainly because of picture heavy threads.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I just put it on 100 (no need to save bandwidth with a 100mbps connection), but it doesn't work on all threads. Anyone know why not?

I put it on 50 posts per page, I'm just used to it from another forum I visit.
