Extending the number of posts visible in a thread

[NinjaPuppy]

Yes thank you, I can access the 'Admin Panel'. I see that we are due for an update. If it's ok with you, I prefer not playing around in there unless I know exactly what I'm doing. The basics are simple so no problem there, and I see no reason to recreate the wheel without a reason. Everything looks okey dokey to me.

Rigid? I've been running a parapsychological experiment in this very forum! I'd thought you'd be iimpressed for a "pseudoskeptic"!

Hi Arouet,
Sorry for the delay. I just installed the mod you linked me to. Fortunately it was quick and easy.

You should now be able to set the number of posts per page within a topic by going to your User Control Panel and selecting the Edit Profile tab. You will see the appropriate field, which is set at 15 by default. I set it so that you can choose between 10 and 100 posts per page. The mod also featured a field where you can set the number of topic threads per page within a board category, so I enabled that too. The default value is 50. You can set it between 10 and 100 per page.

Try it out and let me know if it works ok. Go to User Control Panel and Edit your Profile in the Profile tab.

For now, I will leave the default value to 15 posts per page within a thread and 50 topics per page within a board category. So those who don't set any preferences will have those values by default.

I hope that helps your viewing experience.

Regards,
Winston

Awesome! I did it and it worked!

Some minor suggestions though:

1) you may want to place this option in the Edit Display Options under Board Preferences rather than the Edit Profile section, will be easier for members to find since that's the section dealing with that

2) you might want to set it where there is a drop down of different options: Ie: 15, 50, 75, 100, or have a note saying they can choose up to 100 since its not clear.

Anyhow, much better now! Thanks!
