Pagination is broken.
3The pagination options in my account settings seem to do nothing. I ALWAYS have pagination. I do not want pagination. Pagination is crap.
For those who have no life, here's what Wikipedia has to say:
On the Internet, pagination is used for such things as displaying a limited number of results on search engine results pages, or showing a limited number of posts when viewing a forum thread. Pagination is used in some form in almost every web application to divide returned data and display it on multiple pages. Pagination also includes the logic of preparing and displaying the links to the various pages.
Pagination can be handled client-side or server-side. Server-side pagination is more common. Client-side pagination can be used when there are very few records to be accessed, in which case all records can be returned, and the client can use JavaScript to view the separate pages. By using AJAX, hybrid server/client-side pagination can be used, in which Javascript is used to request the subsequent page which is loaded and inserted into the Document Object Model via AJAX.[1]
Server-side pagination is appropriate for large data sets providing faster initial page load, accessibility for those not running Javascript, and complex view business logic.
Correctly implementing pagination can be difficult.[2] There are many different usability questions such as should "previous" and "next" links be included, how many links to pages should be displayed, and should there be a link to the first and last pages.[3] Also ability to define the number of records displayed in a single page is useful.[4]

Lol. My pagination works just fine! Of course, it is client-side pagination, but everything is functioning just as it should here.
Thank you for requesting pagination!
@djslack I too love the pagination and it works great.
I don't think @Shawn was joking when he did this.
@jqubed nope, not joking.
@shawn you're my hero!
@shawn is there a plan for dark theme quote text font color correction?
I think poor @phatmass has suffered with hardcoded pagination long enough and has been a pretty good sport about it.
Tonight, I just coded a change to allow him to specify the forum display mode just like other VMP members. Hang in there a while longer @phatmass and we'll deploy to production in the next few days.
@shawn The idea of turning potentially annoying features on/off for users at will is one of my favorite things you've done here so far.
@shawn
Uh huh…
@shawn hopefully it fails in UAT, i agree with @t-humperchick.
Also, we need user aliases. Or at least that one.
@shawn I take back the hero comment... Before you
fixedremoved hardcoding:After:
I think Meh needs avatars. This forum sucks without avatars.
@Shawn ^^ - see what happens when you're nice to him?
@phatmass I'd rather have PM capability first.
@phatmass Where would you even put the avatar? And do you really want 500+ avatars loading in addition to all the other stuff on a Fuku-sized thread?
@Kidsandliz PM capabilities go against the entire transparent culture of Meh
@dashcloud I'm not talking about huge unsitely avatars. I'm not even talking about uploaded avatars. Just some visual indicator to distinguish who is talking. Something small. Maybe randomnly generated options like Wordpress has.
@dashcloud why not, LOL, you just limit size
@dashcloud New idea! I'll just precede every comment I make with my own avatar! Yay!
@phatmass small identifiers for who is talking.. Like a username?
Can he now be hard coded to not be able to post images?

@Ignorant I was debating removing it... every time. Or replacing it with something ridiculous. But I think that would count as an abuse of my mod powers.
@Thumperchick I agree...but would be funny.
@Thumperchick I don't I could find something interesting for you...
@Ignorant Are you jealous that Meh lets me use an avatar? I'm sure they'll let you use one too if you ask nicely.
@phatmass how long is this going to go on?
@Ignorant what are you talking about?
@Thumperchick I can't even remember anymore.
@Thumperchick
Ad Block Plus works just fine . . .
