On the old forum you could increase the number of posts per page from default of 10 to more, I used 30 per page, however I cannot find where to increase posts per page.
Is it available and if so where/how?

Thanks

    You're not the only one - the old forum always came up with 20 posts AND the main header - when you click on the forum, for example CREDIT CARDS - always showed threads with the Latest Post highlighted as a link which took you straight to it without having to click on the thread then click last page - if there was more than one.

    I'd like to find that too. Though it's minor in the things I would like.
    5 days, no answer.
    Just one more way in which the site changes are a big step backwards.
    Sorry my posts so long - not time write shorter ones.

    Sorry to resurrect this topic but it's what came up when I googled the same question. I'm guessing that there is still no way to increase posts per page to more than 10?

    I get 20 posts per page on my iPad.
    There isn't currently a way to change it.

    Don't know what makes iPads special, I get 10 per page on W10 laptop and on Android mobile. 
    Hard to believe that after 20+ years of internet forum development this is too difficult to sort out. Never come across anyone who thinks limiting forums to 10 is better than 20, 30, or more.

    I'd like to add +1 to the request to have the choice as to how many posts per page you can see.

    I know it is psychological, but having to trawl through 80 pages of posts is much harder than 40, or even 20.
    It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end....

    I also googled it to see if I can view more posts per page, just like we could on the old system, and it took me to this thread. It would be an improvement if we could manage to do this but I don't suppose the people at MSE have the time to view all the comments on every thread. Maybe we should all be contacting them directly to request this as it's definitely not an improvement on the old system, with missing this feature out. Also the emojis are so basic compared to the vast choice on the old system and compared to the choice available on many other websites.

    It would have been a massive task to build the new website and I'm sure they've had many issues with it, so although not complaining as such, these things would help build a better site. :)
