Forum page length

Reading the ever-fascinating WP RIP thread, I was reminded to suggest making the page lengths in the forums maybe 2-3 times longer so the threads wouldn't disappear below the horizon so fast.
Anybody can do it.

    I'm not sure what it is you're asking. Is it to make the list of topics longer or to display more posts in a thread?

    Yeah, that.

    :)

    For example, Landscapes. Right now there are like 18 topics/threads/whatever. Increase the number to maybe 36 or 45. Paging down is easier than clicking the little-tiny numbers (which I rarely do). But anyway, I think having longer pages in the forums would help the few who have mentioned they have to 'bump' their shots for some type of 'critique.'

    I only see an option for posts per page within a thread, not the number of threads in a forum list.

    While this may be do-able (I'll look) - is it really that hard to hit "page 2" on the navigation?

    Let's try 20 on for size. How does that look?

    Just a suggestion based on some of the whinning I've seen regarding the WP. Make it 8 if you like.

    Sheesh.

    Walter, my question is genuine interest - and we took it seriously as you can see, since we raised the # of threads per page.

    Cheers,
