Forum suggestion.....if possible

[Omarvelous 10+ year member]

I was wondering.....if it's possible to have a "Show All" button for a thread??

I think it would assist in the reading of these threads, that can get lentghy, won't require having to constantly press the next button or the number of page.

Can this happen??? Let me know!

Click to read more...

Would absolutely make the forum worthless for anyone not on a broadband connection...most likely even with signatures and avatars turned off.

I don't get that.

If they don't have broadband, then they won't have to worry, they can continue to click the pages like they use to.

But i think it's safe to say that in 2006, a majority of ppl have broadband.

I thought you could somehow set it so you had a choice of the number of posts per page you wanted to view.

Or, at least that's an option I thought we used to have here.

So you're talking about something like when you're replying to a post, giving you the opportunity to see all the posts at one time...

I understand what you mean now, and I still don't like the idea. Having incredibly long pages doesn't really work with this board format, IMHO.

Maximum is 30 posts per page.

**** ... a thread with 300+ replies in an on-topic section of this forum isn't even going to have 30 informative posts.

No actually,

Lets say a thread has 30 pages.

Where the page numbers are on the upper right, where u can click to jump to a page, there is a "All" link beside the last page, that allows you to see all if you click.

There is a forum that i'm on that has it, and it REALLY helps when trying to just see the pictures being posted by the original thread starter.

It's just a suggestion.

Very true.

This is good to know. Will help a little. But i wouldn't mind having the option of seeing ALL.

I rather just hit the down arrow key all the way down then

Down arrow key to bottom, then click next page, then down to bottom, click next page
