I'd definitely be in favour of upping the posts per page.

fair enough but I don’t think half an hour is enough time to test things. Sometimes things take a bit of getting used to. We all remember our first bottoming experience, right?

It was outright broken for some, so that is justification enough for me.
 
Kala said:
While you are here hen, can you please add the time posted to all posts rather than just the date?

This has been looked in to before and wasn't possible sadly. You can mouse over the date to see it.

The reasoning behind my suggestion was more for when you are reading a thread from the start which has 46 pages, or there’s been say 10 pages of new posts since you have looked last at a thread. Having to click next page X times to get to the end of a thread is quite cumbersome

If you click where it says '1 of 46' (or whatever) you get a little box where you can go straight to a particular page :disco: It took me a while to discover that, but it improved my experience a lot once I did.

Yeah I saw that. It was more when you are reading every single post in a thread. I think upping the number of posts per page will ease this burden.

BEG FOR FORGIVENESS, NOT PERMISSION.

Now 100 until I get complaints.

100 posts per page feels like too many, honestly - I swear I'm not trying to be difficult :D

@HenGiraffe, is there any difference between using the .org.uk and co.uk sites?

no

Why do we need so many posts on one page? Wouldn’t it cause more issues if for example there are a lot of embeds in a thread? My browser already sometimes crashes. WHAT WAS BROKEN?

If it isn't broken don't fix it.

Just because something isn't broken doesn't make it the best way for it to be. Having more content on the page means less clicks, which is the design of most modern websites. Finding the comfortable point between content on page, performance, and ease of use, is the goal.

ResetEra uses 100 per page.

I'm thinking of threads like ASFM or music ones, with loads of videos embedded, it will be easier that they crash as OutSynk said. It already happens to me, can't imagine with 100 posts per page.
 
Couldn't we used to be able to choose the amount of posts per page in our settings? I thought we could but just looked and couldn't see it.

No, I looked too and on the xenforo website for an addon for that but couldn't see anything that allows it.

it can be added (although i haven't tested it and Zen's post above makes me doubt myself)

Oh my god, why didn't I find this on my search!?

They have thousands more users than us though, and a lot of their threads are really fast-moving with short quick posts. They also have site-wide ways of dealing with stuff like embedded media (like disabling YouTube embeds) that would help with issues like the one OutSynk mentioned, but probably wouldn't be popular with anyone here :tongueout: So I don't think we can use them as a like-for-like comparison.

Having to click next page X times to get to the end of a thread is quite cumbersome when endless scrolling would be a seamless process and all you have to do is to keep scrolling to get to the end of a thread.

I have looked at it and it’s fine for me but it’s like when Facebook makes changes. Most people hate it. So I am happy to go with what everyone thinks.
I guess one way around this would be to increase the number of posts on a thread - perhaps 100 or so could be an option. I think it’s 40 right now and I don’t think that’s enough.

Trying to understand what you mean - can you just click the >> fast forward button to go to the last page of a thread, instead of moving forward one page at a time?

It’s more for when you have loads to catch up on. Like a whole 30 page thread. So that’s 40x30 which is 1200 posts. With the new limit that’s only 12 pages instead of 30. So I only have to click 12 times.

Everyone’s happy now we can choose ourselves :)

Thanks @Administrator team x
 
What's with the preview function turning what's in your post composition box to bold? Remember when we did have a preview function? It was quite useful for seeing how extravagant gifs and montage videos would appear whilst doing Golden Age Hollywood Actress countdowns :side-eye:
 
Omg I hope I don't have any porn tabs open. Anyway, god knows what's wrong. I did really like the preview function before.
 
sorb's Animated Gifs :disco:

That does seem strange! I wonder if it's down to the browser?
