Increase the number of posts displayed per page

I mentioned this several times in the XF2 transition feedback thread, but I figured making a thread for this is both more appropriate and more visible.

Before the transition to XF2, threads in Reader Mode displayed 30 posts per page, which was a fine amount. Not too few, not too many, especially for someone who travels a lot and likes to read quests and fics on my phone to pass the time while on the road, and opened a few tabs worth of pages in Reader Mode and kept them loaded to have them ready to read while out of signal.

Now, Reader Mode displays only 10 posts per page, so I need three times as many tabs open to keep the same amount of story on hand.

Even discounting my particular use case, 10 posts per page is still too few because it means one must load three times as many pages to read the same amount of story posts, which is much less convenient.



Ideally, there should be an option to pick how many posts the user wants to be displayed per page, but at the very least the number of posts displayed per page in reader mode should be increased to 30, as it was before.
 
I am not convinced of increasing it to specifically 30, but I do agree that increasing the number of posts per page in reader mode is a good idea. Maybe 20 or 25?

On XF1, both the general page display and the reader mode page display were set to 30 posts per page, so making them the same (whatever it is) has precedent.
 
There is an option for posts per page. You can set it.

As far as I can tell, that option was added after this thread was made, and it doesn't affect Reader Mode, just regular viewing mode.

Thankfully, the number of posts per page in Reader Mode was increased from 10 to 20 some time today, which is much better but still not quite as good as 30 per page.
