	Pagination Defaults can be set for each of the Forum frames [Topics Frame], [Threads Frame], [Content Frame], [New/2Me Frames], and [Authors Frame].
	Notes:
	Changing the pagination default settings will affect mainly Users who are viewing the
	Forum in Novice mode.
	Users viewing the Forum in Expert Mode can set their own pagination preferences,
	These user preferences override the defaults set here.
	Topics Frame
	1.Select the appropriate pagination for Expert and Novice Viewing Modes.
	Important:
	In Expert Mode topic hierarchies can be collapsed, hiding subtopics.
	In Novice Mode topic hierarchies are always expanded to show subtopics.
	In Expert Mode, pagination selection refers to number of Top Level topics displayed.
	In Novice Mode, pagination selection refers to total number of topics displayed
	(including subtopics).
	The hierarchy will not be broken, so if a topic has a big hierarchy tree,
	all of its subtopics will still show, allowing the entire topic hierarchy
	to be viewed at once.
	Threads Frame
	1.Select the appropriate pagination for Expert and Novice Viewing Modes.
	Important:
	In Expert Mode message threads can be collapsed, hiding messages.
	In Novice Mode message threads are always expanded to show all messages in the thread.
	In Expert Mode, the pagination selection refers to number of complete message threads displayed.
	In Novice Mode, the pagination selection refers to minimum number of messages displayed.
	(including head posts and replies).
	The hierarchy will not be broken, so if a thread has 50 messages and the
	pagination limit is set to 10, all 50 messages will be shown, allowing the
	entire thread to be be viewed at once.
	Content Frame
	1.Select the appropriate Messages per Page number.
	This option affects Expert Mode only, since Novice Mode displays only one message per page.
	New/2me View
	1.Select the appropriate Messages per Page number.
	This option affects Expert Mode only, since the New/2me View is not available in Novice Mode.
	Authors View Frame
	1.Select the appropriate Authors per Page number.
	This option affects Expert Mode only, since the Authors View is not available in Novice Mode
	This option setting affects both the [Global Authors View] and the [ Sort by Authors View].
