Trying to change the ppp on the iPhone 2+2 app causes it to crash every time.

Job has it. I naturally don't surf 2+2 there, but I become better at using IE when I only use that one as a browser. You have to look after your edges, you know

No one needs edges in Chrome and Opera, they just work.

100 is too many PPP. Anything under 50 is too few.

2+2: I hereby ask you to add the following options: 200 posts/page, 500 posts/page, 1000 posts/page, continuous scrolling. Please.

Yup, endless scrolling.

Bump the old poll thread.

Is this the place where we bitch about the "good old times" when we could click Show All?

Am I missing an inside joke? Why is 50 better than 100? Like, what's the point of having 50? Less "next page" clicks? Well, 50% less page clicks at 100. So what am I missing?

I think it's the old rant that 50 is the Pro Setting. Maybe it's from the time when pictures loaded slower? That is: historical reasons (wink, wink)

I would like to renew my constant harping for a "SHOW ALL POSTS" buttons, so I could just scroll and scroll and never have to let a new page load.

It's definitely more manageable when playing werewolf.

Also LDO OF COURSE it's the pro setting.

I somehow knew this would come. But it's only one thread, specked with gifs. I'm ready to pay the price of a little slower loading when getting the benefits of 100 in the majority of threads.

How about satisfying our needs? Why not give an option to get more posts at one time? Only 100 is in fact ridiculous when there are threads with thousands of posts. Really nice trying to scroll them with the 100 at a time. Here's my new signature:

- 200, 500, 1000, continous

I believe the answer is server load. In order to give everyone a fair load time, there has to be a limit.

I like the scrolling & loading idea. No clue if this version of VB supports it but I understand there are browser plug-ins that do.

Which is why you like 100. Others prefer a few extra "next page" clicks to avoid waiting twice as long for those slow-loading pages. Admittedly the problem isn't as great as it used to be, when 2+2 went through a period of slow load times.

As PP alluded to, server load AFAIK. Think about those long threads you read regularly with a 1000 PPP setting. If there have been 800 posts, every time you go to read 1 or 2 new posts, you're asking the server for 800. Do you find it's that common that you read 1000 posts in a thread at one sitting?

To be able to look at the first OP post and then go to the last post within a blink of an eye we all can agree is good, I think? The OP at least tries to set the theme and tone of the thread and the last posts are the most relevant for the current discussion.

Another point against a large PPP is if you click off of a page before finishing it. The software will assume you read every remaining post on that page. Depending on how brief your periods of reading are, 100 PPP can become annoying.

I often have to do that, since most of my browsing occurs at work, so 100 PPP isn't for me. And 15 is too few, I'd have to click next page too often. That's why I chose 50. As Goldilocks might say, "this PPP setting is just right."
