Post per view

[Blink]

Would I be right in assuming that if you lower the number of posts per page that you view, then the following benefits would ensue.

 

i) The page will load up quicker for you.

ii) The reduced bandwidth demand would free up more bandwidth for other users, thereby making the site faster for everyone else.

iii) It would reduce the total bandwidth load on the server, hopefully increasing the stability, and maybe even making things cheaper for James.

 

This is especially true for people like me, who spend the majority of time on the Active Topics page, and are viewing posts just to see the last reply or two, loading up a full twenty or thrity posts just to read someone posting "lol" seems like a waste of time and bandwidth.

 

(I know very little about how websites [censored], and bandwidth and servers, so I could be completely wrong)
