The link looks like:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/print...?t=29054&pp=50

I tried doing this, but it didn't help, it still only gives 50 posts:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/print...=29054&pp=9999

I see, yes. So as it is now, a lengthy thread would need to be saved in a series of pages. I'll look into the possibility of improving this down the road.

I hope the option to view all post in a single page is fixed soon. I just tried viewing this forum as printable and got http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/print...?t=40202&pp=10 . Changing it to &pp=50 doesn't help. No matter what do, the forum only lets you see 10 posts at a time. Is the number of posts you can view based on the thread length? In any case, it's rather weird.

I second Herode's post.

Could you remove the once a minute cap on PMs? I understand it's in place to prevent spammers from abusing the PM system, but I can't possibly imagine that's a problem in the first place since a spammer would have to go to the work of registering an account and then spamming everyone on the board.

I remember seeing this discussed elsewhere but cannot recall the outcome. I'll check into this.

You would be surprised, there are dozens and dozens of banned spammers who created accounts to spam our forums. With the ability to now send to multiple people the same PM, the likelihood that someone could spam hundreds or even thousands of accounts in a short period of time has increased dramatically. As a small company that doesn't have administrators on the board 24x7x365, this is not an acceptable risk considering what that kind of spamming could do not only to our userbase and reputation but also to our server.

How the heck are you hitting the flood control that quickly anyway? You either have lightening fingers or need to be introduced to the wonders of instant messaging services.

Check it out, we may regret it later - but here it is: Shrapnel Games now has a chat feature for the community. This feature can be accessed through the quick links tab on the toolbar. Please understand that this kind of feature cannot be constantly monitored, so please remember that our forum rules apply in chat as well. If you violate the rules in chat, you may be banned from using that feature. If the chat feature becomes a resource for trolls and user fighting, we will have to disable it's use, so please play nice.

90% of car drivers say they are above average drivers.
90% of computer users say they are below average users.
Of course, those are both impossible.

Please add the ability for a user to delete his own threads, particularly if noone has yet replied to them. I was testing out the new prefix thing to see how it looked, and can no longer delete my posts.
