My thought is that the unread marks should only be dropped for the current page, not the entire thread.

That is, my idea was that those who were satisfied by the previous features could simply set the page size extremely large. I would have done so, but kept the settings to show only the original post and the 20 most recent which has worked well for years given dial-up and visiting the forums daily. Others have commented on the jump to first unread, I observe that it does work *if* the first unread is on the first page loaded. If not, navigating to subsequent pages drops the unread marking on that and subsequent posts. That obviously needs fixing. I agree with what others have noted about navigation, but if a list of pages is displayed it will need to have elipses when there are many pages. I'd rather avoid pagination altogether, but being able to get to a desired page without resorting to editing in the browser's address field is desirable. -- Joe On Wed, 11 Jul 2012 01:46:35 -0400, David Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: > I added a "posts per page" preference, > which replaces the existing preferences. > This is deployed on SETI@home. > Please comment. > -- David > > On 08-Jul-2012 2:53 PM, Raistmer wrote: >> It's impossible to operate with long threads on websites powered with BOINC >> via SAT or mobile network connections, they just can load to the end.
