Sometimes its like chasing two (scratch that... a ton of) chickens....
Increasing the posts makes some people happy... Others are getting pissed that it takes a little longer to load and they have to scroll more...
The same goes for pretty much everything that we do... We obviously can't make 100% of our users happy with the changes.. But I think that a great majority is happy with the change. We are almost done with the forum part. Then you can start "commenting" on the Front Page...
@Wildbill3 and myself has spent a ridiculous amount of time tweaking the new forum (and are not quite done yet). We are NOT switching back to the old way of doing things.
