I also have this issue
I have put up 2 of my story threads so far, adding in all the images that were stripped,
the images are all there but won't load so the stories are barely readable. (I would even go as far as saying its unreadable)
I would really like to have back pages, page numbers and chronological order as default setting
I would also encourage to make the pages short (like 5 posts max) to make things load better
I don't know about other sections but The Sims section has lots of threads that are extremely picture heavy
share your last screenshot, share screenshots you took using the newest pack,
various information threads, build showcases, sim showcases, stories, ideas... pictures are at the center of it all
so if those don't work its like stripping away 90% of the discussion
and its very hard to find any posts that were posted between newest and oldest when there is no page numbers too
and most definitely the option people want to use most on this section is chronological because we don't want to miss a thing
ofcourse newest and most liked are nice options but its super hard to catch up on discussion as a whole on those settings
or to see where you left off
and in case of stories it makes absolutely no sense to filter by ''most liked'' or ''newest''
cause its like reading the book backwards or only reading quotes from the book all in wrong order
and images inside spoiler would be super helpful to have too especially thinking of build threads
where people often do like long list of links to their builds and then add pictures
but the list gets mega long if its showing all the pictures at once
