Title: Put the page controls at the bottom as well as top
Post by: pinstriper on June 11, 2014, 02:36:55 AM
[p]When there are multiple pages in a thread, it's a bummer to get to the bottom of a page, then have to scroll back up before you can find the next page button.[/p][p]

And this is the only forum I frequent that does not have a "New Posts" button somewhere at the top.

Here, it's buried at the bottom.

I have a bookmarked workaround, but it seems an easy fix.

[/p][/quote]It will actually follow you down the page. So it will always be at the very top of your screen. Here's what I mean:

Well that's where my whole argument falls to the ground.

Unfortunately I have not seen a setting where I can adjust this. It might be buried somewhere, or perhaps even allow me to adjust it with some custom coding but I haven't had a chance to get to it.

EDIT: I've found a plugin that put the recent threads/posts on the right hand side in its own frame. For me it appears to be off the screen a bit, but does allow for a scroll bar.
I'm not sure how if I like it or not. What do you think guys think?

The box is off to the right and does require the horizontal scroll bar. Would be handy if it was on the screen, but I don't mind going to the bottom for the recents.[/font][font face="arial" size="3"] And the box only lets you go to the most recent thread. I use the "recent posts" to read all the recent posts in all threads, then select where I want to go in detail.

I've added two links at the top of the page with the other navigation links. One for recent posts and the other for recent threads.

Thoughts?

The new "Recent Threads" is the cat's ass.

BTW, what a strange turn of phrase that is!
