Site stuff!

You're not alone in having the pages set to 100 messages in length.
I altered it purely because I found it more convenient for me (don't ask me how though, it was a while ago).

I can't say it annoys me when people comment on how many pages of posts they are reading and it's more than mine 🤷

I too have it as 100 messages much easier but dot really noticed others having 10

I might, or might not, have said this, I don't know.
I was unaware there are different page lengths, I've just counted 25 comments per page here.
Maybe next time, I'll just say loads of pages, but then some perfectionist might tell me off for being vague and want me to qualify/quantify my comment.

That last paragraph was a joke, btw.

I don't have any pages, all my threads are continuous. Much easier

That seems best to me kitty ...now maybe I need to look where I changed it originally!

Maybe post if you find out how to do it. I can't remember. I am not on the Desktop site - is it called 'Mobile'

The default is not to have “Show 100 messages” selected so it’s an assumption (rightly or wrongly) that most people viewing the site have not selected it.

For dramatic purposes, “we have 10 pages of vitriol” is much more effective than, “we have 3 …”

In the usual inconsistent way in which this site is programmed, on my Mac in Mobile view, I don’t see the 100 messages options at all. On the Desktop site, the option appears only when the thread runs to two pages or more.

I don’t use my iPhone was Gransnet. It’s too fiddly so I haven’t looked to see what the options are there.

I only access Gransnet on my android mobile...
No idea where I changed it though.
Please come back if you discover.
I'll try switching to desktop briefly.
