Another little niggle - I'm set to 30 (tried others but they don't stick). But a 16 post thread goes on to 2 pages.

    50 is much better than 15. I hope you will risk stepping up, John. We will tell you when it is enough.

    If 50 slows down loading too much., then try 30 before reverting to old number.

    Kath, Jacob, Phos...

    Not sure if i've understood your problems but my settings are thread view and i think i set it to display all.... Anyway, the entire thread opens in a single page... just crosschecked with this thread:

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/293991?tstart=0

    All 249 posts were on the same page...Using Firefox 3.0+.

    Actually, just went back into preferences to cross-check and only found an option for 'Threaded'... or 'Flat'.... so don't know how come all messages are displaying on the page...

    I just tried your link, and I got five pages in Flat view in Firefox 3.0.9.  Are you using Threaded view?

    Yup using 'Threaded' view and all 14 posts are showing... However, the posts have no numbers - unlike i think in flat view?

    I don't think there is a setting for Items Per Page in a thread/discussion. I think it is always 15 per page for a discussion. There is such a setting for a list of discussions, though, to set how many threads you see on that page. But, as you noticed, that setting is not sticky. Once you move away from the page it reverts back.

    That MUST be changed to allow a larger (MUCH larger) choice. See my reply above.

    Not only does it not stick when you navigate to another page, it doesn't stick if you "Command + R" reload the current index page. (and I don't mean a full "Command + Shift + R"  force-EVERYTHING-to-reload)

    Unfortunately, I believe that is a result of the AJAX code they currently use on those pages. As you move around with the Next button the next list of discussions is loaded up dynamically va AJAX and it replaces the current results without having your browser refresh. When you use your browser to do the navigation it reloads the page and starts out all over again. Jive has said they are working on changing this in an upcoming release, but I don't know their detailed roadmap or schedule.

    Thanks for getting this started Kath; I was about to start a thread on the same thing.

    Seems there's no way for the thread index to display any amount other than 30 thread titles. And as for number of messages displayed in a thread...I thought  I had spied a place where we could ostensibly change that number too, but haven't seen it since that one time. Maybe Jacob is right and it's in the "Print Preview" view. Still, 15 messages is too few. If I have to wait for all that other extra junk to suck through my time while I wait for it to load, I'd prefer to set the number of messages per thread at a high number—at least 50, and maybe 100, or more.

    I am checking to see if the messages per page setting can be increased above 15.

    As far as I can see, the number only applies to the thread list in the forum itself, so the only straightforward way to see the lot is to change to Print Preview.
