You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I don't know if this is possible or not. But could we have the posts per page function moved from the 'set profile' page to 'message centre' say at the bottom next to the refresh times? Because the page you're actually looking at when you want to change it, in my experience, is the message centre.

You could say that about everything on the Edit Profile page. That is, you never decide to change your tag, description, email, password, etc., while you're on the Edit Profile page. You decide those things while you're reading a thread or doing some other activity.

True: perhaps what I'm getting at is the frequency with which you do these things. I don't chance my e-mail or password, or even my tag, most days, but I do find I'm changing my 'posts-per-page' every day, or two or three times a day. Does that make more sense?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. I think that's going to be a YprofileMV issue. I change my subs 6 times a week, at least. I change my tag every few weeks. I've never changed my posts per page.

Fair enough. I thought I'd air it, and see if I got any support. I haven't so, that's it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
but I do find I'm changing my 'posts-per-page' every day, or two or three times a day.
But you have made me curious. Why do you feel the need to change so often? I changed mine once when we got the option, and I don't forsee ever doing it again, really.

I change my tag sometimes as much as twice a day. I'm flighty and indecisive like that. It all belongs in the Set Profile page.

Well, if it were right there, I might be with Am Chau and changing it all the time--just becuase if I'm caught up on everything, I don't need a high number of posts displayed. But if it's morning, and there's 300 posts in Natter, I want to catch up as quickly as possible. Etc, etc.
But I'm lazy, so I just leave it where it is.

I've got a question about email. I want to change my profile address to the one I've got left over from WX, that's just a dummy foward to my real, university address.
But, unlike TT (and, I think, WX,) this place won't allow you to have one real address and one address just to be shown in the profile. And I'm cool with that, because if I changed it to the dummy address it'd be forwarded to me anyway; but I'm wondering, if, in the hypothetical future, I need to send an admin an email, will something refuse to believe it's me if it comes from the address not listed under my name?
