Hrw-Amen Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 I have been thinking about this for a while now. I know it may seem an odd thing and rather boring but I just cannot figure it out. OK it is not actually about LEGO but it is about the LEGO Forum so I guessed General was the right place for it as non of the others seemed relevant. Perhaps some of the MODS know the answer? At first I thought it was simply the number of replies, for example 15 replies and it would go to page two, but that does not seem to be the case. I have seen threads that have very few replies but go to page two, then threads that have nearly 20 odd replies and are still on page one. I thought about the length of posts, some have lots of pictures and so take up more space but then they also seem in some occasions to get lots of replies and still be on page one, whereas others with a similar picture count seem to go to page two after only a couple of replies? The only thing I could think of was the amount of memory a thread takes per page, but as most photos are linked from external sources I felt this was unlikely as they are simply a link and not the actual photo. So I have no idea how this works. Does anyone know or for that matter care? Quote
Rick Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Since the most recent forum software upgrade, 25 posts are displayed on a page on EB. I have not seen pages with less than 25 posts (except for the last page of a thread of course). Edit: I see you are talking about the "LEGO forum". Do you mean the forums on LEGO.com? Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted December 23, 2012 Author Posted December 23, 2012 No i did mean here on Eurobricks, but was talking about for a long time that I have been pondering it, quite a long time before the last upgrade and could never figure it out as there did not seem to be any consistency. I will keep an eye on them from now on then. 25 post, thanks for that anyway. Quote
Big Cam Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Before the software upgrade or maybe even two upgrades ago you could change this setting in your profile up to 40 posts per page. With the newest upgrade the standard is 25 posts per page. This is a very common standard amongst internet forums. Quote
tomdobs55 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I remember there used to be a setting to keep the first post of a topic at the top of each page. Is that still around? Quote
