    Default OT : display of forum threads

    I have set my home page (and also a link because I have another page I sometimes use as 'home') to the start of the E34 threads which is a URL of :
    http:// www.bimmer.info/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10

    but the daily comment here is so profilic that it overflows the default page length, which seems to be irrespective of your personal options setup in the forum
    (I had 40 posts selected in my options, but it seems to default to 30 anyway including the sticky ones - or maybe I'm missing something here - senior moment perhaps?)
    This means I have to go to page 2 to catch it all.

    My solution (for Internet Explorer) is to click on page 2 of the forum threads, which gives a URL similar to this :
    http://www.bimmer.info/forum/forumdi...0&daysprune=-1.

    then save that as your home page, then manually edit it (Tools-Internet Options) to make it say ...&page=1... also ...&pp=60...

    to end up with someting like :
    http://www.bimmer.info/forum/forumdi...0&daysprune=-1

    This seems to work just fine ... all the daily posts on one page !
