Another "oops"? Didn't we (finally) get page numbers at the top of the board?

[ymeagainlord]

I seem to recall that and now you have to scroll to the bottom of each page again.

*shakes head*

Up and down for agreement.

Back and forth for unbelievable incompetency.

Seems that Lithium has taken a page out of eBay's playbook - If it ain't broke we'll "fix" it so it is.

[llllady]

You know, nothing works perfectly all the time.  With the boards, why does one thing go wrong, and once it's fixed, 10 other things go wrong?  It's like someone is sitting there pushing buttons and hoping that something will work.

More like - We'll break it so bad that even if we fix it to get halfway back, everyone will be happy.

And what is with all the posts in Chinese this morning ?

I thought I somehow got logged in on the wrong country, lol.

[ymeagainlord]

It's spam - let's hope it's a short lived effort by one individual.

Hi yme. Are you referring to discussion board pages or individual thread pages?

Multi-page threads are showing as they were before. Page links are available under the first post on the first page, above the first post on each additional page, at the bottom of the last post on every page. That's what I'm seeing on Chrome. I wish they would add a "jump to" page feature because it would come in handy for long threads when you want to go to a page in the middle.

If you're referencing the individual forums, I always had to scroll down to the bottom of the page to click on the next page of posts. That's something I wish they would change to also include a link at the top of the page.

[ymeagainlord]

I could have sworn they were at the top of the actual board as well, but maybe I'm having flashbacks to LW.......

[copper.boom]

Possibly before Fall's reformat? But not after. I'm pretty sure about it because it always annoys me to have to scroll to the bottom if I want to look at a post thread on page 2 or 3. I usually hit Cmnd + ⬇️ on a Mac, but I think for a PC you have a button that says "End" and clicking that will take you to the bottom of the page.

[berserkerplanet]

Yep, "End" key on Windows PC.

Mostly use my mouse to get to the bottom (mostly). Logitech MX-518 Mouse button 7

Button      Function

     1            normal click

     2           right click

     3           open link in new tab (mousewheel  press)

     3           scroll up/scroll down (programmable number of lines)

     4           backspace (previous page) programmed

     5           F5 (reload page) programmed

     6           Home (top of page) programmed

     6           Mouse sensitivity increase (while hovered over certain windows)

     7           End (bottom of page) programmed

     7           Mouse sensitivity decrease (while hovered over certain windows)

     8           Logitech app Menu (similar to Windows alt-tab menu)

 1 + 2         Close browser tab (programmed through external Autohotkey daemon script)

 1 + 2         Close certain windows (programmed through external Autohotkey daemon script)

 1 +4          Paste (programmed through external Autohotkey daemon script)

 2 + 4        Print (programmed through external Autohotkey daemon script)

2+scroll↑  Zoom in image (Firefox Imagezoom addon)

2+scroll↓  Zoom out image (Firefox Imagezoom addon)

 2 + 1          Restore original image size after zooms (Firefox Imagezoom addon)

Could also use programmable mouse gestures (clicks+scrolls+patterns like up-right-down) via Firefox Mouse Gestures Redox addon (when enabled - don't use it much)

Looked into replicating the forum page number navigation at top of page a bit a while back, but requires too many lines of javascript via GreaseMonkey to bother.

Did move the page navigation to the top for a while using Stylish rules, but went back to leaving it where it is - normal flow for me is to read down and click next (or hit Ctrl+RightArrow via Firefox Next Please addon). Only really need it at top for old, longer threads where it's go to page 2, or 8, etc to bypass already read content. Tradeoff. (and the move was crude done via styling because of the other 50 page manglings I do,  removing big blue search box, logos, junk, bubbles, clouds, and whitespace. To move it to exactly where the top one was every time would require a Greasemonkey javascript approach and maybe 50? of lines of code. Meh. They'd just break it next week with another "fix")
