number of rows displayed per page in table report

1. Did you try removing columns?  That will likely give you more records.
   
   
2. Try switching to the V3 report type.  You can add a suffix of 

   &usev3=1 to force a single report to be in the new Grid Style ("v3") Reports.  You would need to give your users a button to click.  The New Grid reports have infinate scrolling, so only 1 page for even a million records.  That suffix is an undocumented and unsupported hack, but that is what the Quickbase developers are using for their own testing purposes, so good chance it will stay alive.

3. Take the plunge into the V3 Grid report stype for your whole app.

So an answer to your question they did address that but in typical Quickbase fashion they often address these various enhancement requests when they move onto their next technology architecture and they don't go back and fix for example Old Forms or older report styles when they've launched new forms and the new grid report styles. They put their development effort into the new technology platforms not the old ones, once the news ones are out in the wild.
