slimjim Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Can I alter the number of posts per page anywhere? On my reef forum I can set it to 100... so I have to skip to new pages less (How lazy am I ... the forum MUST be good if this is all I can moan about!) Quote
Lexx Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 The whole forum would need to be altered I believe. And this could mean ridiculous loading times for some users with slower net connections. You think this is bad - the VXROnline only has 8 posts a page! Quote

You think this is bad - the VXROnline only has 8 posts a page! WOW!!! Only 8!!! Yeah, I up my posts per page on other forums as I have a super quick BB connection. When it slows down at weekends, I turn the number of posts down if needed. Like I said... scraping the barrel for forum issues. You guys run a tight ship! Quote
Chris`I Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Yup its a sitewide setting unfortunately. But we are always open to suggestions - so if a significant number want it to be upped, we can look into it. ATM its set to 15 - we might do say 20/25 if people want and see how the perfomance goes. Quote
brown7758 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 one of the slowest BB connections in the UK is achieved in Chorley, so 100 may be a fooker 4 me Quote

So this is why the forum keeps crashing - somebody is using all the bandwidth up!! Quote
Chris`I Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Nope forum crashes cos too many people want to see it at once - WIN and FAIL all at the same time Quote
Wasso Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Nope forum crashes cos too many people want to see it at once - WIN and FAIL all at the same time What are the peak times then, as the forum went at around 10:30pm last night? (Is that a peak time) Quote

(Is that a peak time) ~9am is the smallest peak, then builds again at 12pm and the biggie is between 8pm-11pm, although we have a random spike around 1am too - probably the drunkards coming home Quote

rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 to be honest, i think the posts per page is about right, especially when we have threads with millions of pictures, it takes for ever to scroll to the bottom of the page Quote
Stew Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I have done this on a few forums to make like easier, not supported by PHP though. Quote
