Very minor complaint of an otherwise outstanding website, but I do want to mention it nonetheless (who knows, maybe nobody else has, and feels the same way...).
By now, most forums, regardless of the subject, beit cars, mountain climbing or cooking, all follow the same general appearance and characteristics. I'm sure that a large number of the members here visit other forums as well; I'm personally active on 6-8 forums myself.
I cannot think of another forum that holds the page-break to only ten (10) posts. Most are either 20/21 or 25/26 posts to a page.
A hot topic can generate a dozen posts pretty quick, easily in the span of one forum visit to the next. When I open up the Healey Forum (admittedly, about the only one here that consistently holds my limited attention, though I do wander into the MGB one on occasion) and see a "new thread topic" that's already two (2) or three (3) pages, I am disinclined to open it, feeling I'm already too far behind to catch up. It's a psychological thing I suppose, because I'm conditioned by other forums that could still be on the first page of the thread.
If it's as simple as just changing a setting from 10 to 20, then I'd like to voice my vote to do so. If it requires a revamp of the database to accomplish this, then I'll accept your reluctance to do so.
Thanks for hearing me out, and like I said, it's still a great forum.
