Amount of threads per page...

[beepbeep]

...should be more than 25 as it is now.

Lot's of good threads disappear just beacuse people don't care for pressing "2" for second page...

Example: very good on-topic "CIS vs. EFI" thread dissapeared on page two and will probably stay there..."out of sight, out of mind".

Raising number of threads on page will prolong thread-exposure time and raise thread to post ratio, thus lowering signal to noise (OT) ratio ...

It's possible to adjust number of posts per thread-page in user settings , but not number of threads per main-page. (At least i didn't find a way).

Most other UBB-forums have more threads per page than this one. 50 seems to be usual choice. It does strain SQL-database little more, but i think it's worth it.


Opinions?

[tight as a bull's ass]

yeah you're right. As a thread slips into the 2nd and 3rd pages, it becomes more likely that it disappears into the past.

I looked around and found no setting to change this....maybe the BBS administrator can change a parameter to allow more threads per page.

You can change it under the user options.

Josh,
How do you change it in the user options? As noted above, I also couldn't locate anything under Edit Options that would allow a change beyond 25 threads per page.

You can change the "default thread view" (I changed to "last day") but the display still shows only 25 threads per page. I also agree that 50 would be much better than the current 25.

Thanks,
Tim
