Thread Page Listing

[blee]

When a list of threads is displayed and a particular thread span multiple pages, the pages are listed as "1, 2, 3 ... Last Page" as clickable links.

It would be nice if it also showed a page or two before the end. Its mildly inconvenient for long fast moving threads (such as the games) where you have to go to the end and then work your way backwards to find the point where you last left off reading.

Try clicking on the thread then using the "View First Unread" button at the top left just above the top post. In the case of this thread it would appear just above your name in the first post.

I find that better than trying to find the last post I was reading on my own.

I find that works on linear threads that display well in linear mode, like the counting game. It isn't particularly convenient on large threads with multiple branches. These are easier to follow multiple sub-threads in a threaded display mode, but "view first" isn't terribly effective at flipping between sub-threads. The "where am I" game is a bit like that, although probably unintentionally, when extra branches are created by replying to different posts rather than just the last one.

When I am in the shop Tuesday, I will look into changing then "menu" item.

I forgot about threaded mode, I haven't used it in years. Its not bad if you are keeping up witht e conversation constantly but I am only online in the evenings and weekends so I'm playing catchup and prefer linear mode.
