tooooo many pinned therads on page 1

[Constabulary]

since the forum has been updated there seem to be fewer new posts / threads on page 1 in the "sub forum". Page 1 only shows one (1) new thread all others are on page 2. And if you ask me I'd say at least 1/2 of the pinned threads can either be delete (3D printer f.i.) or are no longer needed to be pinned (to make room for the new posts).

Just my 2 cents. 😉

I thought the same thing. Had me puzzled and I wondered what had changed.

We had 25 posts per page, and I set it to 10. This forum was around before smart phones and thumb scrolling. @Wizcrafts Is there anything we can unpin from the Sewing Machines Forum? Search function is back online.

Could the number of posts per page be made configurable in the user profile? I rather liked to see all recent posts on the first page of any subforum (I'd probably even set it to 50 or so).

suggestion:

unpin these threads:

• What Exactly Is An "eps" (Electronic Positioning System)?

• Adler 467 For Venator

Delete / relocate these threads as they are IMO no longer needed:

• New forum for 3D printers, engravers and laser cutters

• New Members, please read this before posting.        

• Please list your location and country in your profiles

the member location should be mandatory when signing up and the problem is solved (IMO)

or increase the number of new post on page 1 of the sub forum

I agree  with Constabulary's list. Those topics can be unpinned, or archived. Still, I like the idea of the user having an options box to choose the number of topics to display per page. When I'm at home I'm on cable Internet. I can load a hundred lines of topics in the blink of an eye.. My cellphone is usually connected to a router unless I'm driving. I only use it when I'm stationary. I think that 25 lines is a good default setting as long as the users can choose less in an options box.

25 sounds great!

[leatherfarms]

I agree with 25 posts as well..

15?

Hey, I changed all the buttons to brown. I thought I was doing well.

25! Or, a drop-down select box for the user to choose.

I'll try to throw together the HTML for one...

I might be able to slip in a drop down menu choice. Lemme look.
