Admittedly, my usual use case is with ?PP=250. Not too long ago, I simply defaulted to using the "show all" link. I guess there is a difference between forum posts, which start on the first page and add new posts to a new page, vs. the AUR which shows the newest comments first. Is there any way to make truly stable links like that? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
