Is there a way to increase the number of "recent topics" shown? Since it only shows five, I think many posts get buried quickly and go unnoticed. If the number were user-configurable, that would be awesome. Is this possible?

This has bothered me before, but discovering that this post had gone unnoticed for several days prompted me to make this request.

I just use the View New Content link, personally, but I'll check and see if I can increase what the recent topics show. How many would you like?

[SimonSeventeenOrDie]

Personally, I think somewhere around 15 would work well.

Actually, I had never paid attention to the View New Content link before (probably because it's right next to the stupid RSS icon). So if you can't change it, I will be satisfied using that too.



The first time I attempted to write this edit, I was spontaneously logged out of Ubuntu. I might have hit something on the keyboard while I was typing, but why the hell can an accidental keystroke instantly log you out? Good thing I didn't have any other unsaved work.

I'll see what I can do. Stand by!

Okay, I don't see a way to increase the amount of posts shown. I'm probably just missing something, so I'll have another look at it when I get a couple minutes (I'm at work).

oh and also, on the recent topics topic: is there a way to put the page numbers by the recent topic links?

[SimonSeventeenOrDie]

Crackhead, THAT. It is annoying to have recent topics bring you to the first page all the time.

You know, if you click the little arrow by the last poster, it'll take you to the last post.

[timestandstill]

Okay, recent posts has been set to 15.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to add the page number, sorry. Just use the little arrow.

[Enalicho]

Holy shit, that scared me for a moment there.

We are very advanced here at Linsux. Nothing but the best arrows for our members.

if it really were "nothing but the best", the arrows would say "click me because end users are idiots and dont realize that im clickable". but its ok, i wont hold it against you.
