The "View Next 10 Messages" option is a significant improvement over viewing only one at a time. There is the known problem of inaccuracy with keeping up with exactly which posts one has viewed, but I know you're working on that, so I'll let it be <g>. What I'd like to see is an expansion of the 10 at a time approach to N at a time. I still usually use BrowseMaster on Classic because of this. I want to use the new SI, but BrowseMaster is so seductive. Anyway, the benefits of "next 100" or "next 500" or "all remaining" are significant, and I don't see any downside to your adding it. You could add an option for members to set their own size for posts at a time, so if someone wanted to stay at 10 they could, while someone else who wanted bigger chunks of data at one time could get them. Not only does it save keystrokes a/o mouse clicks, it saves time since one typically only waits for the first message, the rest being there by the time one is ready for them. Another benefit is that I can read 500 messages at a time from a thread and save to a file, taking it with me onto a train or plane for reading later. This is great but is much too cumbersome with only 10 at a time.
