| I've gotten used to a lot of things that changed with the software change to the forum, but the thing I cannot stand at all is the fact the entire page of posts doesn't load at one time. Why is this a thing? |

Are you on mobile view? What is your bandwidth like? Browser? Device specs? That behavior is not site default. I can load a photo-laden 50 post page all at once. (Lots of bandwidth, good computer and Brave browser with ad block.) This might be a performance issue with how you visit. |

ETA: it seems to be working differently now. Maybe me yelling at clouds fixed it. |

Idk if something changed when I cleared my cookies but it now loads the full page. It was only loading a handful of posts until I scrolled down almost all the way down and it would load more posts. It almost seemed like something that would limit data usage. |

Why is this a thing? The modern way to do this in UI design is to load, say... 50 lines by default. When you scroll your way to the bottom, it loads 50 more. And so on, and so on. You wouldn't need pages. Just scroll on down as far as you'd like, as far back in history as you'd like. |
