Forum Feature Suggestion

It would be great to allow the user to choose how many lines of data are allowed per page. This is especially useful to accommodate widely varying screen resolutions. I would also give the option of "all" if the user doesn't want multiple pages.

I want to specify the number of LINES (topics) displayed, NOT the number of columns on the screen. Flowing the text as you already do is great. The problem is, if there is a Forum with say 150 topics in it, I'd like the option of displaying ALL of them (or 50, or 100) on one page if I prefer, rather than having to go through 8 pages with 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, and 10 on the pages.

From what you've said, I assume that I can change the number of posts per page within the options. That is what I'm looking for. Where is this option??? I couldn't find it. All I can see is the "Edit Account" option which only allows editing the user password, and some miscellaneous unimportant user info (location, bio, signature). It should be *user* selectable. Also, is there an ALL option?

A good example of what I'm talking about is in Google's advanced search options. They allow you to select 10, 20, 30, 50, or 100 results per page. For the Forums, I'd also allow the user to display ALL as an option (since you won't be getting 6,000,000 results like in Google), or if you think that's a possibility, set a maximum per page (maybe 500?).

Uhhh... You're missing the point here. I don't want it to be hard-coded.

I'd  like EACH USER to be able to set their own preferences (via a users database on the server or a cookie at the client) for topics per page and/or posts per page.
