Yuku free message boards

ajp, that shouldn't be happening. I'm a Supporter, and my topics/replies per page settings were unaffected. Look at your account preferences to make sure the "Use my settings" box is checked. If the settings appear to be in order, you may have to file a help ticket.

100 posts per page is popular among some of our members, and we have members who'd put that number at 1,000 if the choice were available. I don't think we'd want that number at the board level, though.

To me, being able to override at the account level is much better than a board owner having to try to decide what's best for everyone. Connection speeds vary, and people tend to know what's best for them.

The trick is training members to

• refer to "reply #23 by casey" rather than "casey's reply on page 2"
• use the post URL rather than the page number URL in the URL bar

There's no need for a hissy-fit if members don't learn that, though. Mods can always make sure things are clear.

By the way, our boards are set to Yuku's default 20/20. I have my preferences set to 30 replies per page and 40 threads per page. I find those numbers to be a great dialup compromise. 30 replies load just fine, and 30 prevents me from having to load new pages more often than I'd like. For someone else, of course, the situation could be totally different.
