The codex desperately needs a "go to page" functio

[Brotherman Bill]

So, I want to go to page 9 of this thread, which was where I stopped reading the last time. What do I do?

Do I... Press 3, and then go forward from there?

- Press 15, and then go backwards from there?

- Try to figure out what to write in teh "B/viewtopic.php?t=62381&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25" part of the URL?

The latest solution is prolly the easiest, but lets face it: I'm too lazy to do that. There is a much better solution tho: DU makes the kind of function they have on almost all other forums, that is, a little arrow next to the "next" button, which opens a pop-down menu where you can write the exact page you want to go to. Particularly on the playground, where someone wisely reduced the posts/page to 15 and pages are counted in the hundreds would this be useful.

yes, i agree

 

[laclongquan]

Fuck yeah. When I am rechecking the facts of Sommer's actions and consequence I dont want to fuck with numberguessing. Page number is more useful for that.

Edit the url bar to correspond to your desired page.

"DURR HURR I CANTZ MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE TO DISCOVERER THE PAEG!"

Fuck off you dumb piece of shit. This site does not scale to your level.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Oh go ride a cock


Oh wai- you already do that.

Then at least you can go play around with your beloved oblibian tali mods, stop pestering this prestigious topic.

Just fill in the address bar with the post # you want to go to.

With OVER 9000!!!! posts in some threads, it's pretty damn hard to remember which page is which, let alone post number. We are not even talking about the penchant of doing half-updates but not edit it into the thread's table of content.

Dumb shits always dump.

 

[Haba]

We need a goto fuk function.

 

[Atheist]

We need touhou avatars. Ask me about touhou.

 

[Konjad]

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

100% of the people wants such a function. Are you *really* going to go against them DU? The people can't be denied.

 

[Fens]

i have a feeling DU won't do anything with this version of the forum anymore. we'll have to wait for the new software...


...and start complaining the second it goes live

 

[Satori (original)]

Bump.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Something else: When I click on a thread, I want to be directed to the last page, not to the first.

 

[Rivmusique]

Just fill in the address bar with the post # you want to go to.

Needs to be more accessible and intuitive. Accessibility is key to all things RPG, even fan sites.

An option like this won't exist in the forum upgrade and I won't be coding one any time soon.

When is the forum upgrade happening?

the codex needs a go to page function

FUCK YES

+1

 

[Jasede]

I thought the absence of a go to page function was a feature.

Dumbing down for casuals? No thanks.

 

[Andhaira]

I sincerely agree. There is great need for this function.

 

[axx]

We need a go to page function.

I just change number
