Oh, you're probably all balanced out by my insane need to have it set at 75 per page.
And I'm finding it easier to keep up with it set at 50 per page. Part of my desire to skip and skim comes from having to click so many times to get all the messages. 50 at one shot makes it easier for me. I am resisting the urge to post (not that I've been that prominent, really) more than I used to, though.
I had the posts-per-page at ten, and I've bumped it up to 25. But I'm only subscribed to five threads - is it OK if I leave it at 25?
Of course it is. The idea is to do what you can.
You know, it's just a matter of finding what works for you. If 50 per page doesn't work, then just change the autorefresh and lay off the numberslutting. It's the cumulative effect of being conscious about it - nobody needs to do anything that's going to ruin the experience of being here. Try stuff out. Use what works.
Hec, I very systematically don't numberslut. I don't even do that in my own thread, in my own treehouse.
Just as long as the 25 per page is OK and not jamming things, 'tis cool. Autorefresh is off completely, and I always use as few clicks as possible to read things; I get less lost that way.
Thanks, all.
I feel really stupid. I've looked all over the Set Profile page and can't find a place to turn off autorefresh.
It's not on the Set Profile page. It's at the bottom of the message center.
Thanks, Jon. I have so many closed threads I never bothered unsubscribing to that I couldn't see the bottom of the message center without scrolling down.

Could we try setting auto-refresh to 7 minutes, perhaps? It's a minor enough change that it won't drive the Katie Ms of the world crazy (will it?) but every little thing might help.

Um, fine, but I do have one, it isn't here (as I stated, it's in my own treehouse); mine is at peoplesforum, it's been there forever, it does have my name on it and what I was trying to reassure David - who is an occasional visitor to said thread - about is the fact that I don't numberslut there or here.
I'm not really certain where Tim's thread comes into that discussion.
