too many posts per page? too few?

[Wait!What?]

@Webzcas have you guys made changes to the total number of posts per page?
Off late I feel like it's taking too much scrolling to get down to the bottom of every topic.

 

[Webzcas]

I haven't, could be the devs. I'll check

@Wait!What? , the forum team hasn’t made any changes but as Webzcas says it could have been the Development people up to … whatever it is they get up to. Anyhoo. I’ll look into it and see what can be done.

Whatever happens, whatever you do, whether in this forum or the next, "do not provoke the Borg!".

Guys, it looked like this was becoming a bit of a derail so I moved the discussion here. Apologies for any inconvenience.

OK, it looks like the current max posts per page is 100.
Too much?
Too little?

The trouble is that without a plug-in to change the default settings — and we’re currently banned from considering that option — Xenforo appears to be hardwired for one-setting-for-all, meaning it’s a single setting applied system wide.

@Wait!What? @Webzcas @Quickwitted , looping you in just in case the move snarfed things up on you.

Wondered why the Bonanza thread had shrunk.

 

[Webzcas]

100 is far too many. 20 or 25 at most IMO.

 

[maxd]

Cool, I’ll make a petition to the high tower and see what can be done.

[maxd]

It’s done. We await their response.

 

[maxd]

OK, it’s been dialed back to 50-per-page. If anyone has problems please do let us know here.

Would it be also possible to put "change page" - option also on top of threads? Now its only on bottom. Would be very useful if there would be both options

 

[maxd]

You know, I’ve wished for the same feature off and on for years now. I’ll definitely put it on our “Forum Feature Wishlist”. I can’t make any promises about when it might happen but I can promise that it won’t be forgotten.

Good to hear, thanks @maxd

Too many, having to scroll so much, preferred the way it was before.

 

[Mosse]

This 50 per page is way too much. Its now awful to scroll. 25 would be ok!

 

[Quickwitted]

In the middle like 30 - 35 sounds like the sweet spot! Of course the middle is always the ones getting so much praise! We're talking pages between 25 and 50 btw

 

[andysbetting1187]

I think 27.5 would be the perfect mix of scrolling and being slightly annoying for the person who only gets half their post on one page

 

[interlog]

Yes, way too many posts per page. Getting RSI scrolling on mobile phone

I actually agree. I believe it was 20 or 25 before.
