default page settings

Quik question...Im limited to bad lines and 56k modem, it sometimes takes forever to load a page with many posts in it...is there a way to change the "posts per thread page" setting on my end to a lower number?

Thanks.

hey COTR,

i'm on 56k as well and i get by alright. are you sure you're "hitting" at 56k? try this site to see what you're really getting on dialup:

there's lots of tweaks you can make to modems to get 'em to pep up a little. a well tuned 56k connection really ain't so bad.

i don't think you're going to get your fly rod to do 56k no matter how hard you try. :grin:

i'd be honored to fish with you, cotr. however, i'm up to my ears in the drift boat refurb these days and aiming to get done in time to troll the willy for silvers. she's sure gonna be pretty when i'm done with her. doesn't sound like i'm missing out on much good fishing though. you're at the top of the list for open seats once she's back in the water.
