Ask PG: Less items on each page? 7 points by corin_ 14y ago ↗ HN Just wondering when and why you changed it from 30 to 25 items per page - mostly the why. Cheers :)
[–] sorbus 14y ago ↗ Probably related to the MSM stuff that caused HN to get really slow yesterday. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2865985 [–] dfc 14y ago ↗ He actually stated in the above referenced post that it was related to the traffic spike. [–] corin_ 14y ago ↗ Where did he state it, I can't seem to find it? [–] dfc 14y ago ↗ "I turned on comment thread pagination to decrease the load. I'll turn it off tonight." [–] sorbus 14y ago ↗ Comment thread pagination is not reducing the number of items visible on pages (eg, /newest, /ask, /news), it's splitting up comments onto multiple pages. Completely different things. [–] dfc 14y ago ↗ I took it to mean comment and thread pagination was turned on and or increased and therefore fewer items were shown on each page.
