Direct entry of page number field too small

[skwdenyer]

There’s a problem (on mobile - I haven’t tried this on a desktop browser yet) around direct entry of page number.

If I click in the number field, the field only allows me 3 digits of entry, even where the thread (as in this case) now requires 4 digits.

I’m assuming this was the unintended consequence of relaxing the thread page limit?

The techies are aware, a previous thread on WF discussed this.
The workaround for now is to set your posts per page preference to 80.

Sorry, didn’t look hard enough.

How do I set posts per page on mobile?

Are you viewing landscape or portrait?

I’m on an iPhone. I’ve just tried both & see no UI selector for PPP in either. I can’t switch to desktop mode because the PH style sheet clearly insists on deciding for me based upon screen size, not user agent

Afternoon! As above we are aware of this issue and it's in our pipeline to fix although we can't give a date just yet I'm afraid.

For now, you can flip your phone to landscape, which'll enable you to click through to the later pages of a thread. Or update your posts per page in your preferences here to reduce the number of pages.
