Thats a good question Tony... and of course theres no set answer...

Generally, your content will dictate that to you somewhat...

Take BioRUST for instance... in the forums, there could be dozens or more repsonses to a thread, and the vbulletin software is configure to auto-paginate (next page) them when the page gets too long... this is configured by the site-owner.

Generally, the length should comfortably fit the content... a multi-page article might cause the reader to lose interest, but a page that scrolls on forever with dozens of articles could cause the same effect...

If you use left or right navigation, it can help to define a reasonable bottom extent for your site...

I know this isn't much help...

Sorry,

Mike.
