I was wondering why the posts per page threshold set down at 8, most forums display about 15 or so per page.

This isn't a problem if, say, JustinT has one or two posts on the page ( Wink ), but it is somewhat irritating to load a page and have so few posts on it and to have to load the next page almost immediately....

It's not a major annoyance, it just seems kinda funny that the threshold would be so low, especially on a forum that's as sleek and nimble as this one....

Default posts per page is set between 20 and 25 posts. I'll investigate early next week why it is only displaying 8 or so posts when I return from vacation.

Yeah good point. I'm sure it used to be 15.

PCW just making sure there is no confusion I think B-Con was talking about posts per page inside a thread rather than threads per page in a forum (which is around 20-25).

I believe I got confused there... thanks for straightening me out on that one.

Next week I will check the posts per thread and see if they can't be expanded beyond 8 without causing difficulties.

Okay, I've reset the posts per thread from 8 to 12. Let's see if any ill-effects are caused by this.

Maybe in a few weeks we can work up to 15 max if it doesn't slow our system down too much.

If you could report any slowdowns in page feeds, it would help us in fine-tuning this feature.
