I was thinking of doubling the amount of posts shown per page from 10 to 20 and an important factor in this is peoples internet speed.
What are people using here?
If you are on dial up do you find the site very slow anyway?

What are your thoughts on the possibility of doubling the length of the thread pages?

I think that would be a great idea - my speed is good and seldom do I have problems out here!

I'd be fine in work but it would probably cause a problem at home, prefer to stick with the current format if possible?

Cheers

Killian I just wondered if you have a brother called Mick and a sister Jayne - are you from Ennafort by any chance?

i have broadband, but was on other forums with dialup and 20 pages, never caused me a problem. main problem is with images, and most of the smilies and that will be cached so there shouldnt be too much negative prerformance impact on users....

Ah but you've never sat at my home pc humming to yourself while it tries to open a page on a forum with tickers and stuff.  Please don't start tickers over here - they wreck my head.
