Hey there. This was actually intended as an enhancement - by breaking up the post index into pages which list 40 posts each, load time for people browsing busy forums is improved. If you guys don't like it, I'll take it off, so I'd like to hear some feedback about this.Another possibility is changing the number of posts displayed on each page...it's on 40 now, but it could be upped to 50, 80, 100, or higher...this could be a good compromise between speeding up load time and making browsing through old posts easier... Anyway, I'd like to hear what all y'all think. ------------------ Ythan Founder of the Shroomery e-mail: ythan@hempseed.com icq #: 19412886

When I want faster load times I only show one days post. If I am looking back through a years worth of post I expect and tolerate the wait. It is just easier to keep scrolling down to look through the posts. And have you tried finding a post of say a month ago with the new format. Another suggestion put in a search feature ie. allowing to search for all isntances of say b+.

Hey, i think the enhancement was a good idea. It's easier to know where you are if you are interested in a whole years worth of posts--it makes it divided up in a way that would allow you to go back to a particular area of posts you possibly might be interested in.If anything, like you said Ythan: Another possibility is changing the number of posts displayed on each page...it's on 40 now, but it could be upped to 50, 80, 100, or higher...this could be a good compromise between speeding up load time and making browsing through old posts easier...
