So I'm aware that there's an alert that pops up asking if you want to go to last post, but it's not always there on topics you've not visited before it. So the most obvious way of navigating is by the progress bar in the header. It's useful, but could be better, for example, it only goes down 20 posts at a time. I've got topics with 600-700 posts in them. So you can imagine how long that takes.
Would it be possible to add two icons either side (angle-double-up and angle-double-down) and have them go to the first and last posts respectively? I can see how this could be done by using the same method that is used to calculate how many posts are in that topic (for example 573) so one would go to {topic.url}/{last.post.number}
, this would take me to the last post. Or {topic.url}/1
to go to the first post. (I'm pretty sure the code I've added there won't work, but you get the gist.
To extend it even further, clicking the actual x out of x
could bring up a text box. Enter in a number, press enter. Taken to that post.
Should probably have put this in Feature Requests, but wanted to hear what you guys thought.
