Expanding the "recent posts" list on the home page

It used to be I could catch any new posts of interest to me, within the past day or two, by looking over the "recent posts" list rather than dig into individual boards such as "Updates to Highway Data". With more posts on the forum, it's harder to do that. In particular, right now the list shows nothing before 1pm today forum time, which means the list doesn't include many posts after I checked out of my hotel early this morning to catch an afternoon ferry.

One straightforward fix, to accommodate the increased discussion, would be to at least double the size of the "recent posts" list, to at least 30.

"Show unread posts since last visit" won't give you the entire list? It gave me about 10 days' worth of posts once.

"Recent Posts" I think is hardwired @ 10 in SMF.  I'll see if there's a possible setting to adjust it, but I don't think it will be possible.

EDIT: Found the setting.  It's now @ 30.

It's how I always find what's new since I last looked.  First link at the top left below your "Hello <yourname>".
