Why can't we have threads on one page?

Why can't we have a thread on one page? I appreciate the advertiser argument but I give up on threads now so don't see the adverts anyhow.

Hi OP

Do you mean the posts per page, and viewing the entire thread in one go?

gamerchick · 13/01/2022 15:30

You can.

gamerchick · 13/01/2022 15:31

Show all messages puts the thread in one long scroll. Handy if it's just about to be zapped and you want to finish reading it.

Is it only seasoned Mumsnetters that can do this as I'm not given the option.

RedHot22 · 16/01/2022 02:03

I don’t have pages. I can scroll through all messages

The original and best way to read threads is in one go. Can't be doing with new-fangled pages.

notangelinajolie · 16/01/2022 02:34

There must be an option somewhere because all my threads are on one page

AuntieStella · 16/01/2022 06:57

It's an option if you were on MN before some upgrade or other.

It really is the best way to read a thread.

@MNHQ - you promised no importantnchanges to functionality with the impending changes. Please would you confirm that this option will continue to exist - and indeed that if possible it will be rolled out to everyone

PartyPlan · 16/01/2022 07:00

I used to have this option but it disappeared.

Vallmo47 · 16/01/2022 07:03

Would like this option a lot.

EstherMumsnet · 16/01/2022 21:40

We're just looking into this and will hopefully be back soon with an answer.

Hi @RoseSmithe,

Unfortunately only MNers who joined the site prior to 2016 (I think!) are able to view all 1,000 posts on one page.

Just to explain, we had to restrict this option to new joiners because 1,000 posts per page was causing loading issues for lots of MNers. Since making the change, we've had fewer issues.

If you click on our Talk Preferences page and scroll down to Talk Options you'll be able to choose how many messages per page you can see (10, 25, 50 etc).

Hope that makes sense but do let us know if we can help further.

JoMumsnet · 17/01/2022 16:49

@AuntieStella we're just double-checking your queries. Will be back with an answer shortly. Smile

KimMumsnet · 20/01/2022 13:54

@AuntieStella thanks for bearing with. We can confirm that that option will remain possible for you and will be available to everyone.
