Click on User CP in the menu bar near the top of the page.
Select "Edit Options' from the list of choices at the left of the new screen.
In the new window, scroll down to thread display options and activate the drop down menu in the 'Number of Posts to Show Per Page' section.
Select the option of choice, e.g. 'Show 40 Posts Per Page'
Scroll to the bottom of the window and click on Save Changes.

The higher number of posts per page makes for much more efficient viewing.

Andy, I just did this and what a difference, thanks for the tip!

For the somewhat computer savy, click here for the direct link to DC's instructions on how to include formatting in your posts

You'll see that there are lots of formatting options - you may not use all of them but its always good to know your options.

OK - we haven't had an addtion to this thread in awhile so I'll post another tip/trick. Does everyone know about the character map? If you click the Start button in the lower left corner of your computer screen a menu will pop up. OK, so here's the sequence:

1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. Click System Tools
5. Click Character Map

If you want to put a degree symbol by an oven temp - like 350 degrees, you type your 350 and then hold the Alt key down while you click the sequence 0186 - this will produce º

Look at the character map and the different font options. If you want to type an acute over the letter e you find it on the page, click on it and the instructions on how to type it will appear in the lower right of that box - the instructions for the acute say Keystroke+0233 - so if you hold down the Alt button and click the sequence 0233 this is what you get é.

ô is Alt+0244

Check it out! You can just minimize the Character Map for easy access while you type.
