Posts per page

[Enigma]

Is there / will there be a "posts per page" setting? Or is a hard-coded posts-per-page number the solution to having canonical URLs for the different pages of a thread?

I as because I prefer having about 100 posts per page, letting it load and reading it all without have to click any more.

I'm very much in favour of a per-user setting. After less than a couple of hours, I've already had complaints that the number of posts can't be increased to 30 or 40. In 6 years of running my forum, I've only seen people refer to a specific page a handful of times. Far more often, they dump a direct link into the post.

Some people like smaller pages as they're on mobiles; others want longer ones so there are fewer page turns. I'd prefer to be able to accommodate both.

I fall into the group of page size being the most as possible and its always something i set straight away when joining a forum.

In fact when i read a lot of vb forums, i go to print view and use the paging in there to read it all in 1 go.

To get links to work the workaround is to create an "anchor" link on each post which people can copy/paste. The link then should be able to find the correct page and jump to the correct post.

had no idea. this was why i had suggested using the actual permalink of a post for the permalink in the post. of course it was not a good idea because of too many redirections for search engine spiders. my forum users are going to be very annoyed with this.

So it appears there is no way to change this?

I wonder too why this haven't been implemented...

I always use 100 posts per page on vBulletin sites if the admin has made that possible.

I would like to offer my users the possibility to set this themselves.

This thread explains why we will never get this feature:
