A long time ago, the jump to unread was broken. I turned it off. With the new forum changes, it is working again, and is essentially required for most operations. Turn this setting on, and then see if it the forums work better.
Even with a high speed connection this works better than the old style - assuming that you have jump to unread turned on. It should also eliminate the need for most threads to be restarted occasionally. jm7 |------------> | From: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |"Janus B.

What comes to mind: - the jump-to-post feature assumes single-page threads. It will now need to first jump to the right page, then jump to the right post - java-script hook the back-button to go back to threads rather than back one page (should be user configurable, some like it one way or the other) - any change should be optional to avoid people freaking out Also, most people are not on a SAT or mobile network connection. If the general consensus is that the old-style non-paginated forum works well for the standard user then it should remain the default setup and pagination should be made an option or vice versa. -- Janus ps. Does this mean that the uber-huge-if-sentence for post display and sorting is dead now? It was one of my favorites ;) On 07/11/2012 07:46 AM, David Anderson 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.
