List of forum topics or any topics can become really very long eg . recent topics list : ...

How to add something like LIMIT in the forum/index.php probably inthe following area so that the list becomes small

if ($orderby == 'subject') {
$order = "ORDER BY subject ASC";
} elseif ($orderby == 'date') {
$order = "ORDER BY lastupdated DESC";
} elseif ($orderby == 'views') {
$order = "ORDER BY views DESC";
} elseif ($orderby == 'replies') {
$order = "ORDER BY replies DESC";
} else {
$order = "ORDER BY lastupdated DESC";
}


Any help will be very much appreciated. :helpme

Well, you can of course simply add a "LIMIT 10" (for example) after any of those, but then you will only ever see the first couple of entries. Adding something like paging is a non-trivial task ...

Thanks Dirk.

But limiting to say for example 10 or 20 etc will reduce
the load on resource usage Won't it ??

BTW, how trivial is paging Confused

If that's what you're after (it wasn't clear from your post) - sure.
