Longer Home page Posting List

I Tony, have you had a chance to think about the longer posting list on the front page?

I think it would help you casual poster who isn't going to hunt in the various forums for that thread from a few days ago. I think some threads would be longer if they were not crowed off the front page so soon.

I agree, it would be very helpful. I like the longer list of news stories, the posts could benefit from the same treatment.

Re:Longer Home page Posting List

Much better, but I think 20 would work as well. with so many lurkers I would like to give them a large sampling of all the latest posts rather than just the ones in their forum.

Could we try 20 and see how it looks? Pleeeeeeeezeeeeee pretty please!

Re:Longer Home page Posting List

I've increased the number of recent posts/threads from 10 to 15. I can conceivably make it any number, but IMO 15 is long enough. Any more and the latest posts block will be a bit too large on the front page.

Re:Longer Home page Posting List

Thanks Headge. Good Point the Frey :)

Yep 15 would be my limit too. Mainly because of the embarrassment when peeps don't post anything for a couple of days - it makes it look (to the casual lurker) that the site is dead.

While things are buzzing, I'm happy with the main list being fifteen posts, maybe we can review it again if things get quiet.

Re:Longer Home page Posting List

I like it!

Re:Longer Home page Posting List

The front page is back to 10 items again. Doubtless, some setting that got screwed during the last problem.

Could someone please stick it back to 15 when they get a minute?

Thanks.

Oh, and Tony, I sent you a small package Saturday. Should be there in a week to 10 days so you might want to keep an look out for it.

That was me. Becuase of the lull in posting from the holiday weekend (Even sidhecafe and mystriesofthesea haven't posted in a while!) I lowered the amount of posts to 10, so that the site doesn't appear so inactive. At 15 posts, the lists went back over 10 days. I'll change it back to 15 in a few days when board traffic goes back to normal.
