For some reason, even though the original classics settng was 20 topics displayed per page, and the setting I have on threads is 20..... on importing all my data, everyone seems to be on 10 per page by default.

Confusing.

Anyway 10 isn't many so is there any way I can change that?

Thank you

User preferance; have the users who don't want this edit their preferances (My Stuff -> Preferances) and change what they want the limit to be...

The overall limit only effects new users and guests.

Yes I know they can change it themselves I was just hoping I could change it for them so to speak as it looks a little strange. Seems curious why it is 10 when even on the Prefereces form it says "Default is 20" (!)

It makes perfect sense; the default is 10, you imported, at a default of 10; so it assigned them all 10 wink...

You can craft a query to update it, gimme a few minutes

1 more.

"Who's Online" - even though 20 registered users logged in (and "visible") only 6 showing on the Who's Online island. Is that fixed to a max of 6, and if so can we change that so that everyone appears on that list?

Many thanks!

Drop these (one at a time) into the database tools/command section of your UBB:
Code
UPDATE `forums_USER_PROFILE` SET `USER_TOPICS_PER_PAGE` = '20';
UPDATE `forums_USER_PROFILE` SET `USER_POSTS_PER_TOPIC` = '20';

Be sure to replace forums_ with whatever your database prefix is.

It could lead to preformance issues, but just change the limit in the cache_builders/whos online file (you'll have to download the file and update it manually)

For those who don't know where the "SQL Command" box is in the CP:
CP -> Tools -> Database Tools -> SQL Command Tab -> Query

Really happy with everything now.

Thanks for all the answers to all my questions folks.

For what it's worth I would really recommend much more in-depth documentation and sell the features more effectively on the site... it's a great product.

Thanks.

Agreed on the need for better documentation on the main site... At least an organized list of links on the forums to articles (or a FAQ forum/wiki)
