I like my 30 topics and 50 posts per page...
Is this a local issue or a global one? This barely happened tonight.
If local, sorry to trouble you.
Thanks again for all the effort.

Quoth the announcement:That's incorrect. I just tested this, and the board-level topic/reply per page preference still exists. Non-supporters see the number of topic/replies per page set by each board owner. |

Why was this change made? It is not going over well on our board. Perhaps a change can be made so that all users can still use this functionality on gold
boards?

It's incentive to get Supporter. I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. The number per page is actually a good compromise to making
Supporter more attractive to non Supporter because it isn't something so severe as taking away signatures or avatars for non Supporters to encourage people
to buy it, but in the end it's something that makes Supporter more attractive.

Yes, I agree that it's a fairly good incentive to get supporter, but our board is gold and many of the members who do not like the change have donated
money to the board to get it to the gold status. I think it would be nice to have the feature enabled again for all users of gold communities.

A Gold community's feature is to make ads invisible to users on the board. Supporter is for extra benefits to individuals.

if you want people to pay $6 or whatever just make it a pay site. taking away a small feature we already have is annoying and I don't think it will
encourage any of us to give you $6 on principle.
ed- was i polite enough? |

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.

If you want to talk about taking away small features... back in Beta we were all ad free and loving it. Then Supporter and Gold came along and now we have to
pay to get rid of them. So... after having been through a lovely ad free year and a half, I can't really get worked up about a page/topic per page limit.

I think, considering that this is a board set option and that any owner could really screw with people and say 5 topics per page and 10 responses per topic,
that this should remain at the discretion of the board owner for how individuals see the board owner's vision of the community - if the community is a Gold
Community.
Or how about a compromise? You can change the number of topics on a page - just leave the number of responses per thread page alone. |

I'm not saying that the members should be able to change the board settings, just that they should be allowed to change their own personal settings for the
gold community.

I think logistically that may be difficult... and then there would be no incentive to buy Supporter from that angle since there are people who only visit Gold
boards simply by chance (all the boards they like happen to be Gold
)

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
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.
