can I make a plea that people read the thread before posting.

In the last couple of days I have seen a few threads where people have either repeated previous posts with no acknowledgement or asked questions that have been asked and answered previously. I realise that in fast moving threads it can happen but im not talking about those.

Obviously, this is a greater sin when it is my posts that have been ignored! grin

WHY am I the only for whom this feature doesn't work? I've searched and searched, and scratched my head, and there is absolutely nothing else I can do, no other way of doing it. Customise, 1000 posts per page, Save Options. IT DOESN'T BL@@DY SAVE IT angryangryangry

You are not alone Indinana, it works sometimes and not others.

Must be them not us.

Jalima Sun 07-Feb-16 15:52:22

No, still two pages

Indinana Sun 07-Feb-16 15:54:02

Oh well, in that case I won't throw my laptop threw the window grin

Jalima Sun 07-Feb-16 16:17:44

I have tried on the flippin' tablet and on the pc

Indinana Sun 07-Feb-16 17:21:52

oops? 'threw the window'? I meant through blush

Ah well, Jalima, I have asked the question on a thread on Site Stuff. Which has now disappeared off the 'Active' page. I'll bump it tomorrow, and if I don't get any response, I'll email them.

It works for me sometimes, but then it forgets within a few hours. It can forget just by moving threads.

indinana just a couple of thoughts...

1. That it might be a typo ... 1000 instead of 100

2. It might be something to do with the fact that when a thread reaches 1000 posts, it requires another start-up thread on the same subject if it's to continue. This might be the reason it won't work.

Sorry Indinana just saw your question. Show all messages is on the green band at the top of the thread, the one where it says First Previous Next Last.
I am using my iPad and it is on there. I am not using the mobile site though because I don't like the format. Could that be the answer?

Purpledaffodil I have 100 messages per page showing. There is no option on the green band at the top of the thread saying "Show all messages". If I go to Customise (also on the green band), and change to 25 posts per page, then there is an option on the green band saying "Show 100 messages". There is nothing, no option at all, when I go back to 100 messages. And if I go to Customise and select 1000 messages, and hit Save Options, it doesn't save it.
I've tried the mobile site on my iPhone and I've tried the desktop site on my iPad, and they're no different. I've even tried the desktop site on my other, 5 year old, iPad too. No different.
I'm bored with this now. I need a large glass of wine grin

Doh! How infuriating for you Indinana. Def a job for the techies. Hope the wine did the trick for you. flowers
