Forum Configuration, Larger Pages

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   You may notice that some of the larger threads are less pages now.  I did not delete any of the pages, I simply made the default max posts per page larger. You can now view 75 posts per page.  I did this so you don't have to click through as many pages to view a topic. Most if not all forum members are on at the least 1.5 megabit ADSL or 10 megabit cable internet.   I have also expanded the private message to 250 PM's   I may be doing some more "tweaking" next week and will update this thread if I do.

	As the server admin and a heavy user of other forums I have found that 75 posts per page is far too much. Especially when you have 3 or 4 pics per post, it turns into a huge load in the browser and can take absolutely forever to scroll through. My vote is about 40 per page at the most. As for PMs, 250 seems a lot when everybody has their own email. If everybody had 200 PMs, I wonder the load on the server. I'm curious as to other peoples thoughts on this.

	if I ever have 10 PM's stashed - I'm probably doing something wrong! I have no problem with the page length though - only time it might get annoying is if I load the page from my iPhone - but even then...
