baja blast rd. Posted July 4, 2015 I was curious about this one, since most forums don't go past 100. The highest options seem a bit eccentric to me, especially if you regularly read picture- and video-heavy threads. I was at 100 ppp, but I recently changed it to . 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted July 4, 2015 30, aka the default, because otherwise Googling stuff and being linked to page 3 or whatever of a DW thread doesn't work right. Which actually makes me think maybe I should change the page numbering URL system to have the post offset instead of just an arbitrary page number... 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted July 4, 2015 50, because I'm used to it from other forums. Ling: Yes. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted July 4, 2015 Ditto, don't want to risk breaking the forums. I misread the thread title as "How Many Posts Per Day Do You Display?", and had difficulty reconciling that with most of the poll options. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted July 4, 2015 I did the same thing. Seemed like an odd question until I re-read it. I've never changed the setting. I only ever change it on comment threads I'm unlikely to revisit on news sites. I have changed it in the past on forums that used really low numbers, but then people reference a page and either arithmetic or Google is needed to find a post. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted July 4, 2015 50. I need to set that in Zdoom Forums finally. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zed Posted July 4, 2015 100, but I agree with Ling, sometimes it fucks up Google results, and heavy threads (like the "Post your Doom Video") can lag sometimes, but otherwise it's OK. 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted July 4, 2015 15, so pages load a bit faster. I put it in early days, because my internet was shit. Maybe I can amp it up a bit now... 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted July 4, 2015 500 sounds funny. Maybe useful if you want to save or print a memorable thread quickly. 0 Share this post Link to post
ArmouredBlood Posted July 4, 2015 I changed it to 500 a while ago so I could search a whole thread using ctrl f. I haven't changed it back yet, so I guess it's working ok. archi's 12 pic post is kind of a pain in the mayhem 1500 thread though, I should see if I can set pictures to autospoiler. The agitated skeletons thread is impossible to deal with though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Drilbur Posted July 5, 2015 I left it at 30. My computer is pretty dated. 0 Share this post Link to post

dew Posted July 6, 2015 50 is comfy most of the time. People almost never link to pages but directly to posts, so confused offsetting doesn't bother me much. Opening the What are you listening to right now thread, however... yeeesh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted July 7, 2015 150 after checking my options. I hate changing pages, I prefer scrolling down. Makes me wonder why I dont have it on 500..unless we didn't always have the option of 500 posts. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted July 7, 2015 30 is a good balance between "having to change pages too often while browsing a thread" and "the page takes forever to load with my slow internet". I've got used to it on Doomworld. And sure, the fact that sometimes people refer to "page 3" of their threads makes it advantageous to keep the default number of posts per page. 0 Share this post Link to post
SavageCorona Posted July 7, 2015 What kinda crazy ass person uses 500? 30 is good enough especially when there are multiple large images which make you scroll down forever as it is. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted July 7, 2015 Having the ability to show several hundred posts at once is frankly ridiculous. I'm not sure why that is even an option. 0 Share this post Link to post
