So recently (as in, less than a few weeks ago), the section boxes got really short. They now contain only 5 stories where they used to hold more, probably around 20.
For often-updated sections and infrequent reading, this is a real pain. For example, the Developers section tends to have more than 10 stories in a week, which is how often I tend to read slashdot. Now, I have to take special action to find out what stories might have been in that section.
I tried looking for a pref to select the number of stories in a section box, thinking that the "default" must have changed but I cannot find such a pref.
So, can a pref be added or can the previous number of items be restored?
