Workaround(s)
Hello

If I select a connection and search Elements (Topics), then I usually get something like:
Shown 1-10 of 406

Have you ever tried to browse more than 100 Elements? It's painful to browse all these pages.

» It would be great if you could offer how many Elements should be displayed, e.g.:
Display 10, 20, 50 or 100 Elements.

This way reading is fluently.

Thanks a lot in advance,
kind regards,
Thomas

We used to have the ability to do this, but the option seems to have disappeared in the new release. Really hope we can get this option back at some point.

I also agree that paging is quite painful at the moment. When you click the link to see the next page, it sometimes takes 10 seconds or more to switch, and even then you might not realise it's actually switched because the page is updated dynamically. Plus you're also left scrolled at the bottom of the page so it's not entirely obvious that it has switched.

Thanks for the suggestion T.Scgittli,

We will consider allowing users to set up the page size for the feedback search results page in an upcoming release.

We'll keep you updated.

Roberto, please not just "consider" it. It's absolutely vital that one can see a lot of feedback at once. The new listing format is nice and gives you some glimpse of the actual report behind the subject. But at the same time it makes it much harder to get an overview because you can see only a few reports at a time. Expect more duplicates to come in and less validations because of this! People simply find the reports.
So, please add this option soon and make it global/sticky for the user. Also, please allow us to configure the stuff we want to show for each report in the lists. I would certainly like to trim it down a bit, so I can get more reports rows in the same space. I would actually like to get two "buttons" where one will give me a search like it is now (but with more items per page) and the other one will give me a minimalistic list like we used to have it in the older version of Connect.
Let me mention one other thing. The way you switch from the first page with "more" to the search is somewhat confusing. "More" usually indicates "more". But actually it truncates the list to the last ten days which becomes only apparent if you look very close. I just was in a connection that doesn't have so much feedback (our beloved Forums connection) and I thought that's all the feedback there until I realized the list was arbitrarily truncated. (There was no feedback during the last ten days in that connection, so it showed some arbitrary feedback from before which made it look like feedback really started only in September.)
