So I have mine set to show 200 posts per page. I don’t even remember what the default is. What is yours set to? Also, does it bug you when people refer to what “page” of a thread something is on, since that is something that’s different for everyone because of their settings? (For those who don’t know, you can change this setting under User CP \> Edit Options) ---

50, which is the default I think. I like seeing things as multi-page. ---

200 which is the only appropriate setting. ---

Yeah I just double checked… I can’t set mine to 50, so I didn’t know that was an option. Whoops… I wonder if mods can edit polls? ---

I made a new thread and requested that this one be closed.
