Posts Per Page

[GrandOldTeam]

Wanted a poll, and cant run a poll in Announcement/Support forum, so will ask here.

How many posts per page do you think there should be on GOT?

So, how many posts until you have to click next.

We have 15.

The default for forum software is 20.

Just looking at other football forums, and some have 40.

The live aspect of the game threads means the software can't cope anyway. This isn't a criticism or a snide remark, the traffic volume simply means reloading the page and suddenly there's 5 pages to catch up on. Suppose it's a good sign of demand and inter activity.

Dont see the correlation mate?

If when we're busy, like match day, a refresh and there's 5 pages to catch up on - that could support a view to increase posts per page so there's less pages?

The busiest forums, so like Man Utd's Redcafe have 40 posts per page which could be a reason.

15 - I don't like change.

Just because of this really...

Take the o, r, and y out and you may just nail it

Keep it low for load-in.
Also less stress on updating new posts with shorter pages.

Also does that include adverts? They just the page around enough loading in. Twice the number from longer pages would make jumping to notified post utterly random.

20 tops.

The more posts per page, the less ads as they're every x amount of posts, but capped so isnt too many on a page.

I've always thought 15 is fine, but wondering if 20 would be a better mix.

An example of 40 is here;

Arsenal - 2024/25

Kiwior wasn't that bad yesterday you drama queens. But yes, will get ripped a new one against Madrid if he starts. It doesn't take much though...like I said for most of the time, he was ok but that goal just shows he is not quite with it. What was that position he took up? He looked like he was...

That's horrible. Would we have to talk absolute drivel like the gooners to fill a page?

If it isn't broke don't fix it - find to me as it is.

 

[Connor]

Test 20 I’d say, see how it goes - an extra 5 wouldn’t be too noticeable, unless it affects ads too much?

30 and 40 seem a bit OTT

I like things as they are, but maybe try increasing the posts per page for a short while and then have a poll to see what people prefer.

If you had just increased to 20 without mentioning it I doubt that many would have even noticed
