How many posts do you view on one page of a thread?

The default, as I have never changed it, however normally on vB boards I set it as 20 :)

I hate clicking over and over to view email or forum posts. If there was an option for ALL of them, I'd choose it.

Me too, but I suppose is less bandwidth-economic and less ad exposures too

It is also a lot more strain on the database server. You will generally find if their is a 20 page thread, people may only read the first page and by loading all 20 pages into 1 page you are executing 20x as many MySQL commands.

Yeah thats why it should stay an option. 40 is good though. I don't have to click needlessly too many times :)
