Ted, I've noticed you cleaned up the page numbers on the bottom and the top of a thread. Whilst this looks cleaner, navigating through a thread will be messier now.
I've made extensive use of the direct page access, especially in large threads. Now its awkward since I have to load lots of pages to get through from page 191 to page 135, for example.
It's certainly an improvement to not have listed all pages in forum view, but they should be on the pages imho. I've always found this better on your bespoke software than on mainstream BB forums yes

Suggestion: Why not align to the right in the line where it says "PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Forum > THREAD TITLE < Post Reply", and leave the page links aligned to the right in the line below, but let them run on 100% width of the table?

Threads with more than 100 pages will be rare anyway, but it is an improvement for threads with more than seven pages.

I'll give it some thought. I'm sure I can cater to both needs somehow.

Could save space by only having the page links at top or bottom, instead of both?

People asked for them at both end many years ago
