Topic numbers per page index page

Hey JC Administrators

Just thought I would make a suggestion following a point made by BT1 VR in the VR-VS Forum.

We're having a high volume of topic turnover lately, and unfortunately this means some topics which aren't replied to quickly enough will vanish to the next page within only a day or so. I know for example I only rarely read topics beyond the 1st page unless there is something specific I am looking for.

Currently the site lists the last 20 topics replied to or created per index page. Can this be increased to lets say 40 or even 50? For dial-up users this means each page will load a little slower, but it will help those of us who's topics sometimes don't get a look-in as fast as we'd like.

Maybe also a suggestion to help new and old members. Some topics are created as a double-ups, for example someone will create a new topic without checking if there has been something posted about it before in the current index. I don't think users are familiar with the Search function which is handy to locate topics and save a lot of waiting for other member suggestions. This will also help reduce traffic and wasted space if people don't create pointless topics.

Good idea, all done as well. If dial-up members find things really slow by all means let us know.
