I'm not sure what vbulletin or the powers that be allow these days. But it used to be 15 visible threads on the OP/New Thread side bar and 15 reply threads. @ADMINFor a long time, we only got 8 here, on new threads. I petitioned for the max. Well, I only got 2 more for a total of ten on the op's from the head mod a long time ago for which i was grateful. Was told , it was more than enough and would not make a difference. But is a does make a difference ! It makes a huge difference here. SEO's being particularly important.
