How can I view all posts in a long thread?

[Allan Speers]

Every time I read a thread that has over maybe 8-10 posts, I end up missing half of those post. They simply don't show on my screen, unless I go up to the top of the thread and manually select a post from that list.

- And even then, I don't see the posts that FOLLOW the one I just selected.

I've looked all over, but can't find a solution.

Is there some hidden button, or secret handshake or something?

Allan,

No secret shake or anything. In the upper right corner at the top of the thread, select the "Display" drop down window. There select "Linear".

You can also go to the upper right corner to the right of you name and select "Settings". When the Setting windows opens up, scroll down and on the left side select "General Settings" when that window opens up, scroll down to "Thread Display Options". There you can select the mode of display such as "Linear- oldest first", "Linear - newest first" or "Threaded" or "Hybrid". Either of the "Linear" options will allow you to see all the posts in a thread. If you use this option, be sure to use the "Save the Changes" button at the bottom.

Also, just below the "Thread Display Options" drop-down is the "Number of Posts to Show Per Page:" drop-down. Here you can set it to show up to a maximum of 40 posts per page. A handy feature for long winded threads. ;)

Amazing, months of frustration wondering why posted were not in chronological order and I was set to Hebrid! Fyi mobile users, I had to switch to full site to make my changes. Switched back to mobile and it worked like a dream! Thanks for the help.
