I love it. I hope it’s not an accident that it’s on and will soon be turned off. But I just found that you can now set the posts per page to higher than 50…with 100 or even 200 being an option. Just go to your CP, click on edit options, and scroll down to “posts per page” using the drop down to select what you want. I love having as many posts on a page as possible and with 200 per page, it really cleans up having to click through all the pages of a topic. ---

I’m pretty sure that you could always do that. ---

Not that I know of. Last I checked it was at 40 post per page as being the highest option with an actual number and the default as being the highest option of all (which would give one fifty posts per page). There definitely wasn’t a 100 or 200 post option. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > 😕😕😕 > > Well, I’m wrong then. > Are you sure? :dubious: > > I could have sworn I checked it just about a month ago… Yes, absolutely. I rarely saw multiple-page threads (because they had less than 200 posts). I’m seeing 200 posts/page now and I did not change any settings. Really. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > 😕😕😕 > > Well, I’m wrong then. > Are you sure? :dubious: > > I could have sworn I checked it just about a month ago… That setting has been there for at least 6 months or so. I’ve been viewing 100 posts per page for some time now. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that \*\*Scarlett67 \*\*isn’t lying to you 😉 ---

[Here’s a link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=445524&highlight=edit+options+posts+page) to a thread from November 2007 discussing the change. See **What Exit** ’s post. ETA: So there, **Plankton**! 😛 ---

Just to back up **Scarlett** , yes, we’ve been able to do this for a while. I’ve been viewing 200 posts per page since I found out about it. ---

Well, damn, I’ve been out of the loop. I feel sheepish, now. Thanks for fighting my ignorance, guys. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > 😕😕😕 > > Well, I’m wrong then. > Are you sure? :dubious: > > I could have sworn I checked it just about a month ago… As Scarlett67 pointed out, I have been trying to tell people about this for about a year now. I note that I got my Sports & Games forum and we are about to get Google searchable. The search engine is being updated. Now we just need a little more storage for PMs. 😉 ---
