Perhaps an option in the profile for displaying 20, 30 (default), or 40 posts per page.

Sometimes I just get all 'meh' at some 32 post topics when I have to go to a second page, hence the 40 option.  The 20 could be ideal for those with slower 'nets or just want to pace themselves with long topics better.

Also, be nice if we could fix whatever is up with the Wraith Squad topic when they start a new page, while we're at it.
