Is there any way to see all the posts in a thread at once rather than having to click on the link and wait for the page to load to read each response to the OP?

Thanks!

Welcome Kim !

I don't believe so. But you can view up to 40 posts in a thread if that'll do the job.

The setting you're looking for is under My Controls at the top of the page, then Board Settings. There's a setting in there you can change from the Default and crank it up to 40.

I assume 40 is the limit so that any single click doesn't put too much stress and strain on the server, since there are some threads that literally have hundreds or even a thousand or more posts.

If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you may have inadvertantly switched to "Outline Mode" as opposed to "Standard Mode" of viewing the threads.

You can check by clicking on the "Options" box on the top right of the thread. The various ways of viewing the forum are in there.

Hope this helps!

That was it, Jill! Maybe that's the default? I switched it and it's fantastic now. Thanks very much!

I don't believe it's the default...I sure hope not! Will check it not being logged in and see what I can see...
