Number of posts per page changed?

[tim hooper]

Until a couple of days ago I was viewing 40 posts to the page.

Now it's changed to 15 (which I find inconvenient).

Going into User CP > Edit Options, I'm given two choices;
Use forum default (15)
Show posts per page (What?)

Neither option seems to make any difference....

I asked the same question here a few weeks ago but didn't see an answer. Since then I found a workaround. You can edit the URL that shows up in the browser's Address field. Change the perpage= number to something that suits you. For example:

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28264&perpage=50&pagenumber=1

If you go into a long thread, go to the second page, then you should see a URL like this. Change the perpage= number, set the pagenumber back to 1, and it stays that way while you view that thread.

Sounds like a lot of work, but the option has dissapeared from the main discussion groups page. I'll ask Jim about it..

Ok, restored the option - you have to set it in your own 'options' page.. I set it to 10,20,30,40 or 50..

Thanks! I tried it, it works great now.

I just reset the values to a more reasonable maximum of 30 posts per page. The options now are "10,15,20,25,30".

We can increase the numbers to Andy's values after I get a chance to see what the impact is.
