Board 8 > I finally set my settings to display 50 topics per page.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm feeling attacked by all the topics.
How do you guys do it?

50/50 as God intended.

It is the most efficient setup. Minimal amount of effort to read a topic. Have to move the mouse and move to the next page less, and on individual pages I can just press Page-Down to scroll down a full screen at a time. Quickest way of scanning that I've run into!

Why do some of you hate efficiency?

Shouldn't have less than 20 topics per page.

And I'll never understand people that use 10 posts per page. Have always used 50.

50/50 is the main reason to log in.

The ability to post is just secondary.

50 posts just makes sense. No reason not to have as large of an overview of the entire topic when reading or searching.

I don't see the point in having more topics per page though. I never visit any boards where I would want to read something older than around 20 topics ago anyway.

Yes, fifty posts on a page can be overwhelming.

What's more overwhelming is fifty posts spread out across five pages.

But there is no sifting. You just pay attention to what page you left off on and bam.

Unless you're reading a topic all in one go, and even then... To complain about it just seems lazy.

If you can pay attention to what page you left off on out of 50, it shouldn't be that much more difficult to remember what post number you left off on.

But the posts aren't numbered, unless Gamefox does that or something, so it's different.

why click through 50 pages when you can just do 10

all it is is taking the work out, making things more efficient

Taking the "work" out?

Guys, remember when we made fun of Ulti and others for acting like the waggle in Galaxy was strenuous work

Think about what is making you so offended about non 50/50 people

And realize.

"Offended" is a bit of a strong word.

It's more like "Why make things inefficient for yourself?"

Just because it's a little difference doesn't change the fact that it's a better difference.

Why do something worse when you can do something better?

And the point I'm making is that it's not inefficient because clicking isn't some kind of uncomfortable hassle.

Especially for somebody who doesn't use GameFOX, and so 50 posts is just going to be way overwhelming.

the hell

If you come back to GameFAQs message boards any amount of time, there's a HUGE reason to use GameFOX. It takes VERY little work to get it working, and once you do it's a HUUUUUGE payoff.

Go do it.

Nevermind GameFOX, there's even a user setting for that these days. You really have no excuse not to have numbered posts.

But I use 20 or 30 topics because if it's not on the first page, obviously it must not be important enough to warrant my attention and who goes past the first page anyway?
