Increase Number of Recent Topics to 10?

[Ryechu]

I'm liking the 10.  It's shiny.  <3chu NayNay.

[Nayleen]

Personally, 10 irks me and seems like too much, but just from an aesthetics standpoint. Awaiting Tay's final judgment, but I think this'll stay in one way or another.

[Jibril]

Why not just put an option for users to either put a 5 or 10 in the recent topics? Or is that not possible?

[Ceris]

Agreed, 10 looks like too much, but that's just complaining  aesthetically, but practical wise, it is very good. Think 7 or 8 would look better?

[Zakamutt]

A slider might better really, if possible. Sure you can increase it to 7 or 8, but that's hardly future-proof. But yeah I don't use the feature at all...

[Nosebleed]

It's handy, that's what matters in my opinion, I vote for it to stay 10, it's just weird because you're so used to 5, it'll grow on you after a while

 

I also want to point out that this is really helpful for more prolongued recent topic visibility.

[Ceris]

It does stop this from happenning

10 is disgustingly annoying. 

[Kosakyun]

Kinda drags, but fulfills its purpose nicely.

 

Thanks Nayleen!

[Tay]

10 seems like a little much to me, too. But then again, I hate change and love flooding the New Threads sidebar. Because I'm a grumps. Or a tyrant.

 

Right now we're at 10 which seems rather excessive, but then again these sorts of changes require a little time for adjustment. It's been there a day (now two), so how about ~Wednesday we scale it back to 7, give it a few days, and see if we better like the land in-between? 

[Kosakyun]

Sure, why not?

[monkeysrumble]

Having 10 is working great for me right now. It'd be cool if you could set how many you wanted to see at once but I feel like that's asking too much. Personally I just want to see more then 5.

Taypocalypse.

[Nayleen]

7 it is today! Will do 7 + 7 scrollable tomorrow.

[Nayleen]

Agreed, so I think 7+7 might be a good compromise between aesthetics and providing that sweet, juicy information everybody is graving for...

[Nosebleed]

If you can put a scrollbar why not just go for 5-7 in size but have 10 topics in it? 

 

I just think 10 is helpful for visibility purposes, 7 just adds 2 more spots (better than nothing but still)

 

I'm for an increase regardless, just thought 10 was more helpful, i get the aesthetics part though, hence why I'm sugesting the scrollbar.

 

Edit: oh you meant to put 7+7 with scroll, that's fine too.

[Eclipsed]

Aesthetically, 7 is pleasing (more so than 10)

7+7 sounds cool, dunno if it would be 'better' than 5+10(or w/e number); at that point they are about the same

[Fiddle]

What an admirable display of genuine civility this is! I personally am fond of the Great Seven Compromise.

[Nayleen]

7+7 days commences in a few minutes because GMT, bi--*beep*!

[Yukiru]

7 + 7 looks pretty.

 

Except it is not actually 7.

[hsmsful]

more like 5 + 9 ... but it looks cool and pretty easy, not annoying and it looks fine and doesn't look so out of place for me at least 

the 7 and the 10 looked more out of place for me

[Nosebleed]

It's fancy and works, I like it.

[monkeysrumble]

14 is even better then 10 but we can still have the look of 5 as well. Mission accomplished?

[Nayleen]

There, didn't wanna go to such lengths, but we're at 7+7, auto calculated on page load (because plain CSS is unable to do so, ugghhh).

 

Also styled the scroll bar for that box for users of superior browsers (i.e. Chrome  ).
