Number of thread replies per page

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 

I saw the issue of only 20 posts per thread mentioned somewhere and cannot find it now.

Has it been determined if this number can be enlarged?  The pages are loading rather slow for me and if a thread is more than two pages long, I simply don't bother to read it (even if it's of interest to me) because it's so aggravating waiting.

 

Also, the width of the green bar at the top that has the white Mothering text is rather wide.  When I click on pages, most of the time I have to scroll down to see the thread list where before the change over, the top of the thread list was much higher, making me able to begin reading without having to scroll down.  It's a minor annoyance but effects the over all tone of reading here.

Hi Karen! hola.gif

 

No decision has been made about increasing the 20 posts per page setting. We are looking at it as a feature to offer but nothing definite yet.

 

I'm not sure I understand your second issue. What forum are you looking at the displays the thread list very low, causing you to have to scroll down to see it?

 

The green header's width should not affect the location of the threads list. But if width is affecting your view please check this in your profile settings. Do you have "View Forums Full Width?" clicked? If you do, unclick it and see if there is improvement. If it is not clicked, try enabling it and see if that helps.

Thanks Cynthia.  I do hope to have the option of viewing more posts per page in the future.  I had the maximun setting for the vBulletin format and loved it.  I have dsl but am right at the repeater for the signal.  I am at the "end of the line" of the wiring and am one of the first after the "repeater".  Even so, our speeds are pretty slow and I have found that pages load much slower since the change over.

I don't have the time or patience to load multiple pages.

 

In regards to the way the page loads, I did go and check the box to view it full width and it didn't change anything on my screen.

I am speaking of the length of the header from top to bottom, not width from side to side.  For example, when I open the Q & S forum, I see the top of the page down to (and including) the line that starts "See an ad that's objectionable?....."  I have to scroll to view any threads.  It's this way in most of the forums I tried.  I can catch just the first thread in Personal Growth and in the VA, WV, KY FYT forum.  All of the other forums I've tried require me to scroll down to see the thread list.  Is this the same for everyone?  I'm using Explorer on a full sized laptop if that helps.

Ah. Then yes, the width would not address that. Now I understand what you mean. 

 

I took a look at the current view, our old view with the Notices box in place, and the old view with the Notices box turned off. The threads list does show up much higher in the latter. See?

I'll see if we can get a collapse tab for the tan Notes box that shows above the forum. That should push all the threads list up higher. Not quite as high as we had it but an improvement I think. :)

 

No promises on when though. We have some much more important developments and bug resolutions in line right now. shy.gif

Awesome.  I totally understand that you have much bigger issues to work out.

 

I'd be thrilled to have more posts per page though.  It's something that totally stops me from reading.  I won't usually bother to read a thread if it's longer than 3 pages (so more than 4o replies).  I'd love to not have that restriction.  I am sure many others have a quick connection.  What I have is suppposed to be high speed.....but it's not that fast.

I have the slow high speed as well so I to am looking forward to having the option to show more threads per page.

I'm another person really hoping for the ability to increase the number of replies per page. Especially for some of the threads that are month specific (i.e. December ______), the number of pages with only 20 posts per page can get unmanageable very quickly. Thanks for seeing if this is possible!

Yes, thank you for the feedback. Increasing posts per page is definitely high on the priority list smile.gif
