you see the "1 of 19" on the bottom, right? if you click the little arrow next to it you get the next page. is that not sufficient?
I like it Brian and I wouldn't change it for the world. :-)))
but we're lazy sonsabitches brian. i co-sign yvgeni.
btw, i think its because the mgoboard gets updated pretty quickly (and this is supposed to be the off-season) compared to the diaries so lotsa times topics get buried to the 3rd and 4th page just within a day or two.
anyways.
But if you extended it to 10 items, that would say "1 of 10." If you extended it to 15, it would be "1 of 7."
Posts wouldn't get buried as quickly, I think that's worth it.
While it's not a necessary thing, it would certainly be better.
and better is better.
No, because often clicking that arrow makes the MGoBoard panel disappear.
a/s/l?
and by that i mean browser/version/javascript predilections?
I'll look into expanding the first page of the board. Shouldn't be too difficult but I have a project I'm working on pretty heavily right now.
If you really want to know what's hot on here just click on "recent posts"

Seriously, it has the last 25 posts in the front page stories, diaries, and MGoBoard. Way more than the proposed 10-15.
While I agree with those who maintain that checking for recent posts is easy and requires little to no effort, some people post "new" threads that are redundant to threads posted on the "next page." Yes, these people should make a better effort to see if there is already a thread for that particular topic.
But as long as we have posters who are unwilling to do so, a longer list might reduce duplicity.
Because I have some (a.)knowledge about web layout and (b.)confidence that you know what you're doing...
I'm sure you realize this is not a good idea.
If I were to offer any design advice, perhaps you might consider incorporating some navigation or logins into the banner portion of the page? There's a lot of wasted space to the right of the banner graphic... precious, vital above the scroll space, if you ask me.
Otherwise it's darn comfy and clean 'round here-- don't change anything else.
You could click on the Mgoboard link at the top of the page, opening it in a new tab........
