One page

[Assault]

Did you dump the option to show all the posts of a certain thread on one page? (Concerning threads with multiple pages)

[ADM]

There was never an option for that in vBulletin so no it wasn't 'dumped'. If you wish to see more posts on one page then you can go into your User CP and under Edit Options you'll see the option "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" there.

Change that to as high as you want it.

Ok, thanks.
There actually was an option for that on the older forum. It was next to the <Page 1,2,3... > There was a "View All" button, or something alike.

[ADM]

Yeah I know that was there on UBB.. but on vB it's not, that's why I said there was never an option for it on vBulletin.

[Assault]

Now I get it.
thanks

you can easily view 200 at a time in the printable version (it's in the thread tools menu)

and you can also bump up the number of posts viewed temporaraly by adding &pp=200 to the end of the thread url.

Relik: You can go into your UserCP like I said at the start of this thread and have it show 200 posts per page by default.

Does this apply to search pages too? Because I have to manually open every page before I start browsing through the results, lest those pages expire. If they showed more than 25 search results per page, or had a 'show all' results button alongside the page nos. like the threads do, this wouldn't be so much of a problem.

[ADM]

No but you can select "Show results as posts" on the advanced search options page so you don't have to click through every thread to find the one you want. It'll show the posts that include the search term.

[Kalki]

That is what I do, but when I'm browsing through a user's (read: GB) entire history of posts, there are several pages of those to cover.

[ADM]

It'd put too much load on the server if it was more results per page. Basically the difference between more posts per topic and more results per search page is with a topic you're only dealing with one topic and with sql that's easy to do, but when you're dealing with multiple topics over multiple forums with the results you have very messy SQL (no doubt lots of joins and crap) and it puts abit of load on the server.

Yeah I knew that, that's why I said temporarally. I don't want to go into the UserCP every time I want to see more posts in a given thread and have to change it back when I am done
