Why does this forum only shows 1 page? I never see more than one page.

Why only one page?

Go to the lower left hand corner and look for a box display options.

The issue is that the default setting is to show only posts one day back. You need to adjust that in your preferences.

I actually feel the default should be "show all" as many people seem to miss that there are options to adjust which posts to see.
Those who want to limit the number of displayed post may change their settings if they want, but unaware newcomers shouldn't be blindsided.

This happened the last time they reworked the site

Ok thanks, good to know.

the reason it is date restricted by default is that it helps cut down on the query size when talking to the database. smaller subset of records being queried equates to faster response times, and less bandwidth/cpu use on the server.

I've noticed some threads default to one day worth of posts and others to a week. Is that user configurable?

 

[MondoBongo]

Not sure for this board. I've seen other boards that offer that as a setting but never checked here to see if it was user configurable.
