    Hello,

    don't know if this has been already proposed or commented. Since the last update and no paging feature implemented, we have to scroll over and over again to the bottom or top for each thread. Could be possible to add link-buttons to move faster within those long threads (top to bottom and viceversa) ?

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Regards.

    I agree these top and bottom buttons would be a good idea.

    I also think we should have the ability to collapse a thread (in Forum view) from anywhere in the thread, by having the current "up arrow" button reproduced to the left of each post.

    For top and bottom, we could add links but ctrl-home and ctrl-end already allow you to do exactly what you want?

    For thread preview, I've just finished putting (view)(close) links at the end of the preview. We'll always consider adding more shortcuts and things make things easier to navigate, just a matter of time and priority :)

    Rob:

    Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End go to the top and bottom of the page, not to the top and bottom of the thread.  In forum view there is a big difference. (And besides, I'm a mouser...).

    I realy think that eventually we need per-thread navigation attached to every post, because in a long thread both the top and the bottom can be a long way away.
