Spy Car Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I know having more posts per page was popular with some laptop/desktop users, but it wreaks havoc with viewing long threads on an iPad. Is there an software option that would allow users to select the number of posts displayed per page? If so, activating it would be a boon for iPad users. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This was discussed when the forum first updated. Other John changed it so that it wouldn't be 10 per page as it was that first week. So now it's 50 for everyone, which those of us who always had it set higher liked. But it was implied that this forum software does not allow users to set it themselves.

Spy Car Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Why? I read on my iPad sometimes... seems fine. It is fine if there are only a few posts. No problem. But when pages get really long, and they are multiple page threads, it is very hard to scroll through the content on an iPad. At least for me.

VaKim Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I would like a back to top button then. Don't know about on mobile devices, but there is a back to top button on a computer. A little arrow in a grey circle in the middle of the bottom of the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpful if you are already on the bottom (which takes a long time when scrolling) and want to go to the top, but doesn't help if you want to get to the middle of a page.

Not even close. 10 posts per page was too few, but perhaps there is a better compromise than 50? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a mini soon. I'm so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
