Stirring the Pot

Individual page numbers have always been there as far as I know, at the bottom of the posts between the arrows.

But on a thread with many pages you can't, for example, jump from the opening page to Page 22 of a thread with 40 pages. You have to slowly creep your way upwards, to page 5 at first, or back from page 40, two by two.

So a way to get to page 22 without all of the faff would be handy.

With the amount of deletions ,warranted or not?some threads could have about a third less pages

As an alternative/ addition to page numbers - why not dates?

For example to go back 3 days might entail one page or perhaps five or more, depending upon how vociferous/acrimonious the conversation was.

Once in a thread it is possible to navigate to a specific page. The steps are as follows.

1.Navigate one page away from the page from you enter the thread.

2.Click in the address box of your browser and scroll to the end.

3. Change the page No. to the one that you require.

4. Click reload.

I'd like to be able to go to the latest unread post. You can on some websites.
