Not possible with my setup. It's basically to limit the # of attachment thumbnails displayed on each page.

Right now I have it set up to 10 posts per page - which is perfect for half the forums (chit chat and what not). The forums that contain lots of pictures, threads are taking forever to display. I *need* 100 pictures post limit (minimum).

Many threads will only have 5 or 10 pictures - works fine at 10 posts displayed per page.

But on the posts that have 100 pictures, I want to insert a "bottom of page" post so that it will just skip to the "Page 1 of X" part without displaying more.

I need to be able to FORCE that "Page 1 of X" part.

I could make a post with secret code as the post like.. "[[endpage]]" as the message body. When showthread comes across that text it doesn't display more posts on that page and shows the "Page 1 of X" part.
