Hi there.

Is there any way to change the number of threads displayed at once?
I think it's 10 at a time right now, right?
I have a BIG monitor to use, and I would like to see more threads at once. Frankly, it's tedious to have to click to go through page after page of threads. On some of the forums it's no big deal, but when the Armor Talk group is busy, it's hard to keep up with the threads.

just curious!

Andy,

If you go to "My Account" and then enter "Change Password and/or settings" there is a field "Number of posts to display per page" (at the bottom of the page)....that should do the trick.

I set mine to 30. Generally speaking, if the thread has gone onto a second page, it's usually gone quite a ways off-topic. I tend to stop visiting threads that have gone on past page one (30+ threads), unless it is something that continues to need clarification like the Operation Barbarossa group build which went on for more than two pages.

I set it at maximum. I don't like click for a second or third page. I have a fast modem, so even long pages load quickly (if there's not too many pictures).

Hi Danny

Many thanks!
I never would have guessed that changing number of posts per page would also change the number of threads displayed per page!?!

That makes Armorama even better for me now!

Cheers

which will grow a lot more when we all start asking the same questions over and over again !!!!
