I am Not liking this 'only the last 5 posts' visible in my Threads I'm on. Not one little bit.

Have just woken up to this situation - I am Shock and Not Happy.

It still says it's displaying 18 messages but there are only 5! Can't you make it 10 at least? 5 just isn't enough. PURRRRRRRLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE?

hocuspontas · 15/03/2011 21:06

Yes, I keep thinking I'm the 5th poster and I only need to read the last 4 posts. GET RID!!!!

One minute there's too many, now there's too few. Confused You MNers are hard to satisfy at times. I could put the Classic view of TIO up to 10 replies, would that be a suitable compromise?

Ponders · 16/03/2011 09:44

who said they only wanted 5? When? Was there a poll? Did I miss it? I was happy with 18 [sob]

Could we have a drop-down box with a choice of numbers (or would that be too complicated for you, dear Techs? Wink)

thumbwitch · 16/03/2011 11:36

10 would be infinitely better than 5, yes please!!
And who whinged about there being 18? 18 was fine; actually, 12 would be good... could we have 12 instead of 10? After all, 18 was pretty random...

Thank you DamianTech

DamianTech · 16/03/2011 15:28

Actually, the limit was 99, which I'm sure you'll agree was a tad much! For most threads that wouldn't be a problem of course, but some users had issues when there was survey threads and the like that quickly accumulated tons of replies.

As a fix we reduced the limit to 5 as that is how it appears on MN Modern, but if the legions of Classic users would prefer a bit more scope, we can up the limit a bit more. Obviously, we just want everyone to reach a happy compromise! Or is that being too idealist? Wink

thumbwitch · 16/03/2011 15:29

But I LIKE Classic and therefore would definitely prefer more to show - I like the idea of 12 but would settle for 10 if that's the best you can offer...

No, DamianTech, you miss the point. We MNetters are hard to satisfy at all times.

hocuspontas · 16/03/2011 16:01

Well this is what I would like. All threads since my last reply displayed unless it is more than about 25. (I'm sure that was what we used to have)

AtYourCervix · 16/03/2011 16:11

10 would be ok i suppose. if you promis to stop messing around with stuff.

Could the number be stored in user customisation settings, so those who want lots can, and those who don't get what they want, too ? Please.

thumbwitch · 18/03/2011 13:33

So long as it's more than 5 and SOON please.... If you can manage NWG's suggestion, fab, but if not PLEASE go back to being more than 5 (still hoping for 12 but still will accept 10)

AtYourCervix · 18/03/2011 22:22

please? it's driving me nuts.

Preggersplayspop · 18/03/2011 22:25

18 was fine. Who complained? Whole point of classic should be not to mess around with things we are familiar with. I don't like change
