@cdevroe I've noticed that Cypress and Red Oak do not display a complete list of posts when selecting Archive, and only Cypress appears to offer a list of categories. Is this expected behaviour?

@crossingthethreshold What do you mean, "complete list of posts”? Here is Red Oak's archive page. Happy to make adjustments so that it can work the way you'd like it to!

@cdevroe I apologize if I did not explain myself well. I thought that an Archive page would show a complete, abbreviated list of all posts made to that blog. With Red Oak it only showed about a page worth of posts. Is that clearer?

@crossingthethreshold Yep, that makes sense. @manton - Do you think an archive should paginate or just be a long, running list?

@cdevroe @crossingthethreshold In the other themes, Archive is just a single, long page, with an excerpt for each post. We also have a separate setting for whether to paginate the home page, categories pages, or both... I'm enabling that for Cypress and Red Oak. (I should probably follow-up in email about this.)

@manton OK, I'm willing to make any and all changes to the themes to be the most compliant possible to support all features of M.b. Just let me know what to do, and I'll do it. cc @crossingthethreshold

@manton @cdevroe Thank you both. Manton explained the Archive page much better than me!

@manton @cdevroe @crossingthethreshold Would having a non-paginated archive not cause increasing load times as the number of articles grows?

@pimoore @cdevroe @crossingthethreshold It would. But I have thousands of posts on my blog and the archive page loads in about a second. It was so fast that I decided to punt on pagination for a while since it introduces other complexity. (Although some themes could handle this differently.)

@pimoore on a static site it’ll make little difference, unless the listing includes images
