"When a thread gets longer than 60 messages, the number of messages for that thread becomes a clickable link which will display just the first 60 messages from the thread - and give you links to subsequent blocks of 60. If you have a computer that loads fast, you just click on the link for the thread, like you do now. Does that sound like it will work OK for everybody, and does 60 sound like a workable number?"

Check out ANY decent MB available on the net... even the free ones make this a user setting, so each registered poster can pick his or her own # of posts limit... What's the big deal here?

Well, Clinton, the way Pene has it set up, you can pick all messages, or you can pick 60 at a time. It's easy for him to change that number 60 if a consensus wants a fixed higher or lower number, but takes a lot of programming and a lot of bandwidth to make that number a variable.
For those who don't understand Clinton, MB means megabyte...or is it message board?
