Less posts per page

I'm not sure if this is an option in phpBB, but less posts per page would be a good thing imho. I find (particularly with a heavily loaded connection) that long pages will often timeout before loading fully (page 1 of the dvdr thread in the hardware forum is a good example).

Reducing posts per thread should also reduce server bandwidth used, as each page load will be shorter and typically you only need to see the last page of a discussion.

We are in process of moving host. It should be plenty fast soon enough.

ADSL's fine until you get started with the torrents and the DC and rest...

Even as it is, this thread ( http://tassyp2p.no-ip.com/p2p/viewtopic.php?t=163 ) won't load without php timing out (thanks to your enourmous images). I have one torrent running 10k up/down.

Yeah taxing your upload will slow your webbrowsing and downloads

But its probably due to me leeching like a whore also.

I usually leave about 8kb/s free for the forums. Once on the other host, lets see how it goes.

There isnt a standard option to define posts per page. Though maybe there is a way to do add it.
