Number of posts per page
I often see posts where the poster refers to something on page x of a thread. The page they refer to is never the same page as it shows for me. So I wondered, do members know that everyone may have their settings set to show a different number of posts per page? Apparently not.
For those unaware you can change the number of posts in a thread to be displayed per page.
-Click User CP on the menu header at the top of the page.
-On the left side of the User CP page click on under the "Settings & Options" select "Edit Options".
-Under "Thread Display Options" go to "Number of Posts to Shop Per Page" and select a choice between 5 and 100.
FYI.

I just posted this because I figured a lot of people don't know they can change it. I forgot what the default is, but I'm pretty sure that it's lower than 50 posts per page which is where I have mine set. Only really long threads ever go longer than one or 2 pages this way.

Instead of referring to a page x in a thread, wouldn’t it be easier to just refer to a specific post number? That should be a constant regardless of how many pages are shown.

Rather than referencing page #'s, reference post numbers instead. Those are absolute and don't change regardless of how many posts per page. In addition, you can also link to direct posts.
