I know that Simple Machine forums have a way to get more posts per page, but this forum doesn't seem to support that feature. I am used to seeing 50 posts per page, versus the fifteen here, and the page numbers are just intimidating. I know this is a selfish thing to ask, but I wish there was that feature here.

I can change it globally. Does anyone else want more post per page?

If you do, I think 50 a page would be too many.

We can get something in moderation, the amount of pages per topic is pretty staggering, but I don't want to get in the way of slower connections.

If you bookmark a post on the page, rather than the actual page, it should keep the same links.

I like it sort of better this way. On fifty or fourty posts per page, I have to do a lot of scrolling and more often than not, by the end of the page I can't even remember the first half of any conversation. I think that this would be especially disastrous as we appear to be going off-topic every fifteen posts or so. To my mind, this leads to mass confusion.

Why not try upping it to twenty or twenty-five per page for a month, see what people think, and go from there?

Is it possible to make a new forum theme with fifty posts per page, so people who want fifteen PPP stick with the one they've got, and people who want fifty PPP use that theme?

On the other forums that I frequent, you could change it on the forum layout settings.

I think being able to choose a layout for yourself would be ideal, but if that's not possible, I lean towards more posts per page.

Yeah, a few more would be nice, but 50 is muchly excessive. Maybe just double what we have now. 30 seems like a good number...
