Of posting to the SDMB:

How do you know when your post will start a new page? I am hardly a Straight Dope newbie but it seems others are aware of this knowledge.

People know when a new page will start, **Wolf** , because the SDMB displays 50 posts per page.

And welcome to the fold, **Zjestika**. 🙂
