Number of Pictures or messages per page

Hi,
I know you limit the number of messages or gallery photos per page to avoid long waits for people using dialup for internet access.

However, since I have faster access, I would love to be able to specify a larger number of items per page when checking out large galleries or long message topics.

Perhaps a choice option on the first page of the photo gallery or on the message board topic page for the convenience of those who can handle larger downloads could be added? Please?

Thanks,
Linda
