Is there a comments page that shows more comments?

[AshyPhoenix]

Back before the upgrade, the comments page showed a lot more comments than the current one does. I like going back through my comments and reading them, from time to time, so it kind of saddens me that I can see so few. Am I stupid and just can't see the button that shows more, or is that it?

[redfox70]

Nope, you're not stupid, that is all we get now, 20 comments whereas it used to be 100

Before they cut it down, they even experimented briefly (and it was so brief that if you blinked you would've missed it) with showing comments sent.

[AshyPhoenix]

I remember that, redfox. I think they said it slowed the site down too much for it to be practical, though.

Damn that's disappointing!

Not only that, but we lost our blog comments from before the change, yet we kept our blog entries.

^ That must be very irritating for those of you with blogs.

The reduced number of forum comments is also rather irritating. I suppose it's not so bad for someone like me who doesn't receive a great many of them, but there must be people who receive a lot and probably don't get to see some of them if they take a break from JUB, even for a short time.

Exactly. I was gone for three weeks, and within two days of coming back, I'd lost every single comment from before my vacation.

Mods, is there any way you can increase the amount of comments shown on the comments page?

[redfox70]

Ashy, do you ever save stuff to your computer? One of the things that I do is to save my comments as an HTML document, that way I never really lose any of them.

Do you rip the whole page, or is there a function on JUB that allows you to save just the comments?

[redfox70]

No, there's no JUB function for saving comments. I use Firefox so I just click File then Save Page As and select the HTML option (is that what you mean by ripping the whole page?) In order to get just the comments though and not the thread subscriptions list, I usually have to view the threads first and then log out and log back in immediately.

Hello,

I have increased this to 100 for all users. As long as it doesn't cause the site to slow down, we will leave it

[redfox70]

Bryce, thank you!

[AshyPhoenix]

Oh! I noticed it had changed a while ago, but didn't see Bryce's post. Thank you so much!
