I've had my posts-per-page preference set to 80 for years, but recently every 2 days or so it seems to default back to 20 posts. When I go in to reset it, the drop down still says 80 posts so not sure what the issue is; I have to change it to another number, save, then back in and change to 80 and save again. When it has defaulted back to 20, it is the same on my phone, personal laptop and work laptop so I know it isn't a machine related issue. Any ideas?

Not sure on this one, haven't seen similar before! Can you let me know what operating system and browser your suing please?

Thanks!

Chrome and windows on both laptops; safari on my iphone.

I do wonder if it's something to do with this additional firewall software my company put on all their machines recently, but the fact I can still access PH in general with no issues made me think that wasn't the case.

ETA OS data.

I’ve noticed the same thing, so it’s not a single instance.

Are you actually logged in before you go to change page preference?

OK clear

I only asked because of the current PH "anomoly" where it appears that you are logged out but actually not

This creates (for me on an iphone) a situation where If I view threads they appear to have far more pages than normal

When I click on my stuff everything reverts

OK When I open PH

My silly thread shows as 14 pages



Clicking on my stuff and I'm back in and the same silly thread is 4 pages - I haven't had to sign in
