How many posts per page?
I'm at 50 - when I changed my profile to get a flag it made me change from 100 down to the current highest, 50. I find it helps me keep focused on the conversation. Plus I have a fast enough connection that I can navigate between those pages fairly quickly.

So, how many posts do you view per page and why?

I've always had the standard number, but as I too have a fast connection, I should maybe change that.

Interesting, I never even thought about that. Hm, now that I enjoy a broadband connection I may get that number up.

i've had it set for 50 quite a while, seems like a good number as pages usually load easily and there's enough to skim though with having to change pages a lot.

30.

I could have much higher as my connection is fast, but I think 30 is a nice size to view in one go.

50, that way I don't need to click much, and they load up fast anyway. Way better for long threads. And I hate it when with 20 posts per page, a thread with 280 replies looks too huge.

I changed from default to 50. My computer can load the pages quickly enough, and I don't have to keep clicking to catch up with a long thread.

I have it at the default - 20.
I'm too used to it to change it.

I keep it at 10 per page. That way, if I know that I've read 50 replies, I can go to page six and continue and not have to do any serious math.

ACK!

I'm set at 10, not because I'm mathematically impaired ( ) but because I hate the new browsers and still use Netscape 4.79, which tends to bog down mid-load. I still have to reload pages more often than I'd like, just not enough to make me change browsers.

30. I believe it was a default when I registered, so for me its the only right way to view Apolyton.

Default was 50 with the old UBB, originally 25 when they switched vBulletin.

I do wish there were higher options, such as 100 or 150.
