siggestion for thread viewing Increase the size of your Attachments

For multipage threads, we currently see something like this on the forum view:


1,2,3,4...Last page.

I would rather see something closer to this:

1,2,3...17,18,Last page.

The reason is that I'm often checking out recent discussion on a long thread. But if I go to the last page...it will be too far and i'll have to click back to an earlier page. this is espeically true when the thread has just moved onto a new page.

Yeah, I agree too. If the thread is a couple of posts to a new page, then I'll have to click to the second-last page.

Hm... maybe branching threads would be a good idea?

In the days of olde, when the Coffee Shop reigned supreme, links to ALL of the pages of a thread would be on the list of topics. Perhaps we could bring this back...? (No, not the coffee shop )
