Why can't I have 1000 posts per page?

'save options'

I was rather hoping that GNHQ might have seen this.
Knock knock, anyone there?
I know it's a Monday morning and I know you're busy, but it would really make me so happy if you could give just a teeny bit of attention to this for me.
Thank you

I have tried to do this on, wait for it ..... a Windows laptop (Chrome), an iMac desktop, an iPhone, an iPad (the one I won on GN ) and on my 5 year old iPad. All of the Apple devices use Safari.
When I click 'save' the page refreshes, but the 1000 has changed back to 100.

Also, I gather from comments on another thread that there should be an option on the green bar at the top of the thread which reads "Show all messages". I don't have this. If I go to Customise and select 25 messages and save (it does work for this!), then I have an option on the green bar which says "Show 100 messages".

I've tried turning Adblock off, but this makes no difference.

Wait, I'm going to sign in on IE and see if that makes any difference.....

No, that didn't work either . Just the same as Chrome - the page refreshes but doesn't save.

Is that it? No suggestions, no offers to speak to the tech people?

Thank you Kat.

Oh, and just for the record, I did try your linked threads and I get 'show 100 messages' on the smaller one if I change to 25 per page. But I don't get 'view 1000 messages' at the top on the other one

Here you are

How old do we have to be?

No, that was when I had it set to 100. Here's what I get when it's set to 25 (on the smaller thread)

I get exactly the same on the larger threads too.

Oh and I've just read your second post. So that was why, not because I was being singled out for persecution . Glad you're getting it changed - thanks!

That did cross my mind Ana. I was feeling rather pleased that I don't fall into the 'old' category

Tech have said the option to view 1000 messages on one page is only available to old users, and you're a relatively new user.

We've asked them to fix this so all users can view 1000 messages per page.

Well that hasn't happened . And I've been a member for a year now - however many years do you have to be a member before you're considered an 'old user'? I really would have thought that by now I'd have completed my novitiate

I give up <sigh>

Boo . Oh well, no biggy I guess. Thanks for trying
