I probably shouldn't admit this, but thanks for posting this as I didn't know one could change the number of posts per page. I have never counted posts or pages, as I think it's kind of dumb, but I can see how that would be ultra annoying when settings are different for everyone. Nice to not have to reload a new page every 10 or so posts. Internet sucks at my work, so it will be a good timesaver.

I've got it set at 40, I just started to find the forum default (10, 12?) quite annoying.

Jeez, how did this thread ever get onto the second page...
I just use the default 12 posts per page because I'm on a dial-up connection and there's less chance of stuff timing out this way.

my only pet peeve is when n00bs come on and dont know how to type or use punctuation. they're whole post is one looooong sentence. you have to read it 3 times to get what they're saying.. then again its even worse when you asked them to try and use punctuation because its hard to understand, and they get pissy.

i have my post per page set to 40. but i think it is kind of hard to reference a specific post number when they are not labeled and to know what page you are on you just have to look at the bottom of the page.

There isn't a good way to reference the location of a post the way things are set up right now. The best thing to do IMO is to just quote it yourself so the person doesn't have to go looking for it.

Joe, this thread is still on the first page.
And here we have an example of what Arbiter is talking about in his first post.
