Topic: Regarding number of posts per page.

I have two questions:

1. Would it be possible to dissallow people from changing the "posts per page" setting?

2. Is is possible to set a different default for different forums?

The reason I want this, is that there is big differences in the content of forums.
A page with 20 text-posts is not a problem, and could easily be set to 40 even.
But in a forum for posting of pictures,  20 posts is a lot per page, and takes a long time to load.
Now with the youtube-mod, this is even more of a problem.

Wouldn't it be great if I could set the picture and video forums to display only 5 posts per page, while the normal text-forums contain 20-40 posts per page?

Re: Regarding number of posts per page.

1) You could just edit profile.php and remove the input fields for them options, then run a single db query to remove any settings that have been added to each user. Thereby forcing each user to use the site defaults.

2) That would need a modification to the code (and probably) an update to the database to add the post-per-page to the forum table.
