CSNbbs

Full Version: Feature Change: Allow user to select specific page #s in threads to go directly
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Currently, if you are trying to look through a thread that has grown beyond just a few pages, it is quite cumbersome to get to pages in the middle of the range shown: 1, 2, 3, 4...........39

If I want to go directly to page #22, I have a very cumbersome haul through nearby pages to get there. Some boards have little boxes next to the page range listing where on can just type in: GoTo Page #_____ and you type in 22 and it take you there immediately.

Can we have that on Csnbbs, please?

When I'm trying to research and look for past data someone else has already compiled, it is hard to find it with the present system of digging through past pages the way things are now.

Thanks!!

I can suggest a few workarounds:

1. Once you get past the first page in a thread, you can pick the page you want just by tweaking the URL. E.g., if I'm looking at http://csnbbs.com/thread-739010-page-2.html , I can go to page 13 just by typing 13 in place of the 2 in the URL. E.g. http://csnbbs.com/thread-739010-page-13.html

2. In the User Control Panel, you can change how many posts you see per page. I believe the default is 10; I prefer 50.
I'm keeping this in mind. Don't look for anything in the near term, but look for a lot in the medium term.
