Setting for Swap Meet Forum Page

[ozma]

Is it just me or is the first page for The Swap Meet with everything listed, twice as wide as every other page on Bhuz. I always need to scroll side to side to click on "new posts" or forum settings, can never see who the last poster/ hit count is...it's just strange.

I use Firefox, it does this wherever I log in from, and it's just that page

That happens to me, too.
On both Firefox on a PC and on Safari on a Mac.

Me too, thought it was something I did. Oh well, scrolling outwards....

I think I figured out why. At the top of each forum page they show (1st page out of Xnumber) and you can jump to any of those pages by clicking on the number. Swap meet has by far the most number of pages, so it's set up so you can click individually on all 66 pages...which is what make the width...which means that as bhuz grows, if this isn't corrected, all front forum page will get wider and wider.

My apologies, I got lazy and didn't prune the Swap Meet for too long. There were an amazing 1,970 threads in that forum. When there are loads of threads the page just isn't big enough to show all the info neatly.

I just deleted all threads which had no posts in the last 90 days, it amounted to over 900 threads, so the page should look better now. I think that if there are no responses to a post in 3 months we don't have any reason to keep it, the item is sold or there was a lack of interest.

Thanks Rosey!
