I regularly browse the Windows XP forum, and it's gotten very popular to the point where threads at the end of the list are only a day old. I have the number of topics per page set to Forum Default and though I haven't counted it looks like only about 30 are shown. For some reason instead of a text input there's only a dropdown box in which I can't select more than 30. I fear peoples' threads might be getting pushed off the first page too fast before anyone has a chance to help them, because let's face it, who actually reads the second page? Setting the forum default higher and allowing more than 30 in the user settings would solve this. smile.gif

I too wish there was a way to see more thread per page. And honestly, it would help reduce the load on the server. I often do a "View New Posts" and right-click open each thread in a new page/tab. If I could view, say, 100 threads per page, I wouldn't even have to change pages most often.

I don't know if this will put a strain on the server or not, but more than 30 would be nice smile.gif

that's lots of windows there for you ... lots of alt+tabs too newwink.gif ... but that's what i do too if i need to look at many posts ... he! he!

^ Nah, it's all about CTRL + TAB biggrin.gif

CTRL+TAB ?

Right-click, left, right; right-click left; right-click right. tongue.gif

Check your prefs : it is maybe not on board default.

But may I ask for another thing? for me I used to hit View New Posts directly every time I visit MSFN, may you do the same with it? it will facilitate a lot mate.
Thanks a lot for all MSFN staff thumbup.gif

@ MGadAllah i will see what i can do to improve that smile.gif

As for the topics per forum and the posts per topic.... i edited the settings so that users can choose upto 150 posts or topics per forum/topic smile.gif
MGadAllah
150 is more then enough
Hope you can make the same with View New Posts
Thanks for the great work mate

The settings in the control panel work for me everywhere except for View New Posts... which is where it's the most needed. :S

Thanks MartinL for the nice work, but could it be increased to 150 also!?
I'm still can not test it yet because I've read all new topics yet newwink.gif
Thanks
Martin L

MGadAllah
Thanks for your support MartinL.
Sure let's see what others want, but for me I need even more smile.gif
Thanks

Wow... looks great.. I like the 75.
jcarle
What in the world... it was working, now it stopped... ?
Slimy
Sweet, thanks for making the change Martin L. I think I'll stick with 50 for now, I'll up it later if necessary smile.gif

View New Posts is back up to 75 per page, but there's something really messed up now...

It's like the posts roll over from one page to the next... Say you see a post titled "Mobo issues" on page 1, well when you click on page 2, you'll see it there too, and again on page 3... blink.gif
