Laura: use the "User CP" button in the toolbar, then "Edit Options". I've got it set to 80 postings per page. (Go right to the end of the Options page, and save them).

Thats for how many replies to threads you want displayed.
I dont think theres an option for the amount of posts you can display on the PF1 homepage is there?. :confused:

Exactly the point Laura made and my point too.
Great that you actually read the posts.

336350 2005-03-22 14:18:00 Sorry I've made it a bit confusing, guys.

'Twas my bad choice of words. I used POSTS instead of what really should've been THREADS.
For simplicity's sake, I'll call them TOPICS here.

Yes, I do have my settings at 80 replies per topic, Graham. That means only the very popular or long-running ones take up more than one page.

But what I'd like is a page which can display more than 20 topics on it, so they don't disappear from the front page so rapidly.
(In fact, stickies mean we get only 16 new ones currently)
As I said, they were lasting only 2 1/2 hours on PF1 1 yesterday afternoon, due to the rate people were adding new topics.
That has nothing to do with how many replies each got - merely the number of subjects being covered.

Now I don't remember how "long" our pages could be on the old forum, But I do remember we had an option to choose that.
And we don't seem to have it now..
So is it possible or not?.

336351 2005-03-22 14:28:00 Ooops... Just did a count & found PF1 shows 20 threads PLUS 4 stickies, not minus.. Laura (43)
336352 2005-03-22 20:51:00 Hi guys and gals,
Jen's helpfully pointed out this thread to me, and I will take a look at how/if we can extend the number of threads on the homepage when I can.

It would be great if you could have a look at it.
Thanks!

336354 2005-03-22 23:09:00 Unfortunately this is not a user defined option, so I've up'ed the threads display to 30 - don't want to set it too high to keep the dialup users happy ;) Mary (6534)
336355 2005-03-23 06:15:00 mint, thanks Mary its not too bad at the mo Prescott (11)
336356 2005-03-23 07:21:00 Many thanks, Mary
Must confess I hadn't thought of it causing any problems for Dialup users, as I'm one myself.
In fact, I'm on a rather elderly comp with Win98SE & had no problems with (100 per page, I think?) in the old forum.
Mind you, opinions about speed depend on what you're comparing it WITH, I guess.
I never knew anything different...
