How many posts per page do you see in your view?

**jAZ** · 01-15-2006, 10:27 AM

On the options page here, there is a section titled:

Quote:

Default posts per thread:
Number of posts that are shown on one page of a thread.

The options available are:
* Show 5 posts per page
* Show 10 posts per page
* Show 20 posts per page
* Show 30 posts per page
* Show 40 posts per page
* Show 50 posts per page
* Show 60 posts per page
* Show 70 posts per page
* Show 80 posts per page

Which option do you use?

Noob Note: If you don't want to dig around for this, just count the # of posts on the first page of any thread with mulitple pages.

I think it was ten before I realized you could change it, which was a few moments ago. Now it's 80.

I have mine set at 80.

Why do you ask?

80, or 160 if I've had a few beers.

Maybe the DB guru's here can help me with this.

I too use 80 (the max). I because I hate excessive clicking (and the delay of waiting for a reload).

I have joined a few other vbb boards recently and I noticed that all of them have a limit of 40. After noticing this I felt quite lucky to have an admin who was smart enough to up that limit to 80.

But that got me wondering if there is a database reason for limiting the size of the page (and therefore the corresponding query).

Could the fact that (based on this small sample) a large majority of our regular posters are setup for larger queries be a cause of our database problems. Or maybe it would be better to ask if this setting is a greater burden on the database (and therefore making the db problems worse)?

I guess the other side of the coin is that with 40 or 20 or whatever... you end up with more DB queries as people click 2, 3 or 4 times for each 1 time they would if it's set at 80.

Just curious...
