Question

Only 10 Posts Per Page Now?

I swear it used to be that more than 10 posts were listed on a given page, yet now I see threads go to 2 pages with post number 10 (in other words, the OP and 1 through 9 are on the first page, 10 through 19 on the second page, etc.).

I looked through my preferences, and I don't posts per page as a configurable option anywhere (and I have no confidence I've looked in all the right places)...

Did my consciousness just change universes, or is this something that's changed?

It seems that we are getting there.

50>10>15>40>50>100

Thank you very much, John, Terri, whoever.

Sounds like a "good thing" to me.

Yes, much better, though still paginated. Thanks for the progress so far.

In going through old screenshots from last May to check this issue, it struck me that we used to get a large number of posts per page BEFORE they finally begun numbering each post sequentially.

Just saying…

station two,

The post number on each page was (reduced to) 50 ever since the days of the fair forums, long before the post numbers were lost this year.

As I mentioned in post #5, which is even longer gone than post #14 and post #29.

This thread seems to confirm our concern.

And by the way, the old escape, to tick Print Preview under Actions to the left is gone. When you ticked that, all posts in the whole thread were listed in a simplified form, across the whole width. View as PDF is also gone.

I used the Print Preview to get whole threads in a compact form for archiving of especially important threads.

Jacob,

I was only attempting to poke some humor at Jive by implying that it had been only their inability to count posts that had kept them from limiting the number of posts per page. Obviously, I failed in that attempt.

Right under Discussions there is a dropdown box to set the number of items per page.

Curt, you seem to be talking about the box in the main page of the forum, which controls the mumber of threads listed per page. This discussion is about the number of messages shown per page in each thread, which has been changed to ten and apparently with no user operable option to change this number.

Hah! I just came back from my preferences, to see if I was the only one with 10posts per page...

It feels like we are on a site paid by ads, where they make a page per paragraph...

It was 50 posts on every page, even during the time with missing post numbers. The first page had the OP and up to post #49, then post #50 to post #99, and so on.

I am afraid someone changed the universe round us, again.
