Pagination customisation

TheLastJedi

I'd like to have the option to see all of my Wishlist or Alerts on one page, with no unnecessary clicks. Can u add an option to choose how many games to show on page? 20/50/100/All. I understand "All" option could be too much for the site, when ppl have over 5k games in collection 😉

I'm all for it. Since I don't have thousands of games , the "All" option would suit me just fine 😉 Still, an option to set how many games per page you want to see is quite elementary, right?

I saw someone suggesting the same thing in another thread and I think it's worth implementing. By looking at the votes you can tell that many people agree with that. If it's possible I can't see any downsides of having that.

Yes.. some kind of option to have everything on one page would be fine....

Why do you want to have everything on one page?

rob006 It's just more comfortable at least for me. I prefer to scroll through offers when comparing them. Steam wishlist in that form is really convenient but has one problem when you check deal and then get back, list always return to the begining and you don't have option to open deal in another window (probably because it's in client). Here we could have that option. Overall it's just the way I prefer.

The larger the page size will be, the more time it will take to initially load the page. You can see this on Steam, where some wishlists/collections are barely accessible because it tries to load 3 thousand games at once. As far as we can increase the page size and/or make it configurable, there must be some sane limit to prevent stability problems.

rob006 Sure, can you say what numbers are possible. I think 25/50/100 maybe 200 that TheLastJedi mentioned would be quite ok.

rob006

darkwind 100 sounds reasonable, but we need to make more test and potential optimizations before we change current limit.

Maste3z rob006 can you make infinite scrolling? It's better than pagination.

Infinite scroll has other issues, like non-working back button and browser history, less convenient navigation (you can't skip pages) and performance issues on client side when you load too many pages in your browser. To make it right we would need to introduce solution similar to that available in this forum for browsing posts in thread. But this really sounds more like an overkill and we have higher priorities right now.

Im aware that affects site load, but i'd like at least 100, to have less clicking, scrolling is just better for user experience imho. I wrote that all collection on one page would be killer for gg serwers, so at least give us a choice of 100 on page.

I'm totaly up to giving us a choice here - 20/50/100 sounds nice because, just like most of you, I don't like going through 20/30/100 and more pages.

25 is a pretty small number for most. I'd love a 50/100 options.

"All" would be an overkill for sure. Even Steam itself have some problems when you try to see someone's huge collection.

Soul_Reaver

I'm all in for bigger limits. There could be simple solution with small limit + button at the bottom saying "load all" to satisfy those wanting to have everything on single page, but I'd say that would also be an issue, for reasons mentioned above already - thousands of titles on just steam wishilists, add gog or humble wl to it, maybe more if those will get implemented, and both client's browser and GG's server are doomed.

I also like this idea to increase limit to 100. It would be more comfortable to browse.

Now that you present Steam Weeklong Deals on this site, you have to expand limit of items per page, even up to 200 entries, otherwise people will be forced to click through 40-50 pages in order to see every game.

Biskuit

it would be ideals if the page has 25, 50, 100, 200, all option 😃
