Number of posts displayed per page

Hi Guys,

Any chance we could bump this up from it's current setting to somewhere around 20? Or even make it user configurable?

It's at 12 right now, and bumping it to 20 would nearly double the page load/bandwidth issue SSSDave and copeg just discussed. User configurable, probably not, sorry.. The more tweaks we make like that the more system resources this site is taking up and the more we have to pay to host it.

flickr and other TR downloads are a different story (personally, i think that's user error on post and sometimes i just let the concurrency work it out and cache). I would just like to see the number bumped up to see more of the background with out clicks back (which is a reload anyway). Gotta keep in mind internet is faster these days. Well for most of us. Most of the posts for the background info is text, meaning small.

Would it be possible to allow the setting to be a max 20 posts per page and user settable and leave the current 12 as default?

I don't want to bankrupt your good work..
