i know it's a little thing, but yeah, i absolutely hate how the pages are divided on cherami when you exceed one page. i don't even know why you'd ever want it the current way, other than maybe limiting how much needs to load or be scrolled past? it's incredibly frustrating to have to keep switching pages when working on a response to check stuff just a few responses back, or just to read the last response.
I've got nothing wrong with the pagination really, but I do think it's a very good idea to have the live page at minimum like ten posts back, maybe more (to consider a lot of ooc chatter, though the 'hide ooc' option is also good for that anyway)
Another thing I've noticed that I think is much more important is that when I look at my prompts, I always lose one between pages. I've been paying attention now that I've noticed and there's always one that isn't visible until I bump a prompt from an older page and it pushes it back out at the cost of the prompt on the bottom of the page before. I can still find the prompt if I like. Go to a tag I used for it, or hide tags to make older prompts load on the first page, but I've got a bad memory as is and I'm unfortunately very 'out of sight, out of mind' most of the time.
the thing is, I think this may have been a thing even before they dropped the amount to 10 instead of the 20 (or 25, can't remember) it was before, because I made a couple tickets in the past due to not being able to find a prompt of mine using the page for it. They found it, confirming I hadn't accidentally deleted it or anything, and I just bumped it and kept on with what I was doing. But now that the pages are shorter, more prompts are getting hidden between them and it's a lot more noticeable.
I don't think it affects the chats I currently have as far as I can tell since they have set numbers to their pages, but since the directory works the same way, I have to wonder if there are starters up that are just unfortunately getting hidden between pages before getting pushed out when a new one comes in, but by that point it's on a new page and less likely to be seen.
