I suggest you increase the amount of posts per page. I didn't see it in the profile options so I think there should at least be the opportunity to change the amount shown per page if you wanted. 15 per page isn't enough for me. It feels like I spend more time switching to the next page than reading the actual page.

Thanks for the suggestion, loller.
I can change the posts-per-page limit.
Anyone else having problems with this?

I always wondered how this worked. It seemed a sort of arbitary thing that the Brains did every now and again or when they felt like it. A bit like cleaning out the fridge every noe and again.

Actually, 15 is the Proboards default value and has never been changed. Pages are different lengths because posts are different lengths; the post count per page is always constant at 15.

Doesn't worry me one way or the other. But this does clear up one point. I always wondered why the pages seemed to have a whole lotta entries, even when Hamish has posted something about the latest inanities of Dubya. They are kinda long.
But hey, Hamish, I like 'em. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, why not? But not too much more- page nubers make it easier to find something, say a link, from a few dozen posts back.

Leave it. Why change it? Seems ok to me, but I don't care. Make it ten. make it twenty. One hundred. One single page per thread if you like.

Yeah, unless there's continued outcry for the change it's stayin' put.

The status quo works for me, but it's great to finally understand the concept behind it.

Nah, I like going the mystic route of self-discovery. Thanks for the offer, but that would be like reading the instructions and things.

Ya know, when I forget who posted the idea, I start to like it. 20 per page instead of 15.
Seriously, what do y'all think?

Most of my reading is done by catching up with posts on a daily basis. That means I have to scroll down to catch the latest post. Scrolling through 20 takes longer than scrolling through 15. For people reading pages and pages at a time I guess more posts per page makes sense.
I like it the way it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But 20 isn't that many more than 15, so I won't bellyache either way.

For the Public Room, more threads listed per page might be a good idea. There are now, as Lager pointed out, several sticky threads at the top of the first page, and since I can't get online every day lately, I spend a lotta time on page 2 and even 3. I can't see removing those stickies, so maybe we should add a few more thread titles.
Longer page? (EDIT: this is now the third time I've written essentially the same thing in this thread. If no one backs me up this time I'll finally shut my piehole)

I'm with you on the higher number of threads per page. An extra 10 wouldn't hurt.

I also think this is a good idea. An extra 10 sounds about right.

It's did. Up from 15 to 25.
More threads per page in the indices, too.
Anonymously yours,

Anonymously yours, Admin This sounds like a reason to come to China - to be anonymous, a fictitious character in a novel we write for ourself. We reinvent ourselves and our skills and our past with people who are greatful that we take the time out of our busy lives to say "Hello". Yes, anonymous ... and yet so out there. Go anonymous admin, go. You are a god among us and we love you. Thanks for changing the post per page limit - I like it! |
