Hey everyone,

I've been wondering about this for the past couple of weeks, and so have finally decided to ask here. Now, here's my question:

Why do the length of flyaway threads differ in length so much. For example, have a look at this thread here:

Arrow http://flyawaysimulation.com/forum/topic/14528/finding-flight-simulator-passengers-fsp/

Now take a look at the 2nd page of my 'Making a Kiwi fly' thread, and notice how different in sizes the page lengths are:

Arrow http://flyawaysimulation.com/forum/topic/12813/making-kiwi-fly-from-00-hours-to-first-solo/

I know that mine has very long posts, but shouldn't they be transferred over to start a new page? It takes almost 6 seconds to scroll down the whole page! Laughing

Thanks for any answers,
Jarred.

The forum script only allows a certain amount of posts per page, regardless of the length of each post. For example, 10 long posts or 10 short posts, only 10 posts would be displayed on the page.

When you come to a thread if you want to see the latest post:
Click on the orange leaf that told you when you saw it that there was a new post and that will take you to the latest post without scrolling through all of them.
I hope I made myself clear.
