I had wondered about that 100 posts-add-a-page, however, I find it to be a good amount. I am stuck on a "barely a DSL" connection, haven't been able to view hardly anything on Facebook for several years now because the download almost always crashes before it can be opened. A lot of other glitzy sites with dancing goo-gaws will not load for me either. I like to read Royce's site also, and I don't know why, or what in it jambs up my downloads, but his longer articles usually only show about half the pictures for me. His site is similar to this one, I think it is the same basic program. So why his site won't load completely, yet this one almost always does, I don't know. I appreciate what Chris B and Admin Jeff do for us. They are providing a wonderful balance of modern technology and simple for us without true high speed connections. The longest threads on here load completely for me. Sometimes I have to force myself to wait a few seconds, but that only on the longest and/or most photo heavy pages. A "five count" (about four seconds) is all I have to usually wait for a hundred post load of "Kalamity Dick" (the main attraction in "off topic").
Personally, I like to scroll quickly through long threads to do a quick mental refresh on what I have seen before. But this is my strange way of doing things. So I don't use the feature to take one to the first unread. I do think the programming to provide that feature is a good addition to any forum type site. I also do recommend using it to non-strange people, strange people like me that prefer to scroll through.
