List more than 25 posts at a time-How?

[karlsnooks]

Especially when reviewing the "New Posts" list, I would like to view, by scrolling of course, 100 posts at a time rather than 25.

How do I change the number of posts per web page?

Hello Karl,

In your User CP in the Edit Options area on the left, you can select how many posts you want to see in a thread. The limit is 40 though.

​

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,
Well the only problem is I checked my setting and I've got it set to 40, yet when viewing New Posts, Subscribed Threads, I get only 25 a page.

What have I done wrong? Or is there actually 40 listed there and the "next" page selector at the bottom on work in groups of 25?

Thanks,
karl

Shawn,
Just checked by clicking on the "New Posts" item on the menu above page and I only get 25 items.

Oh yes, I'm set for 40 posts per page.

Um, not sure why. I reported it to John to take a look at to see if he may know.

many thanks. Looking forward (hopefully) to the answer.

The 25 limit is a global admin only setting and will not be getting changed

Ah, ok.

How do I change the number of posts per web page?

I do this, when the first page comes up, I select page 2 or 3 or ... Then I change the page number in the http:://... address to 1 and then insert a 5 or 6 (depending on what my finger hits) and press enter. Works for me, I think it actually gives you 200 posts per page, will have to look next time to be sure. Will end with something like this (pp=25&page=2). I change it to (pp=525&page=1), then enter. Usually I only get 2 pages of posts when there are 300 or so. Have used this on other sites, but not all work this way. Hope this helps...

If you are using Firefox, load in Autopager to make all the pages seem as one long page.

You will wonder how you could ever browse without it.

I saw the AutoPager suggestion before I saw your post. For now, AutoPager is filling the bill. Thanks for the idea , karl

Thanks I'm giving AutoPager a try again and so far all is good. I'd tried AutoPager when it was first released and wasn't satisfied then but this really looks good and useful and sure is handling the SevenForums post listings well.
