Multi-page thread "previous page" focus

[tekenaar]

Gary,
Any way to change the "previous page" focus from "top-of-page" to "bottom-of-page" when going backwards in a multi-page thread? Thanks . . .

Not easy to do as that is coded into the program.

You can change the way threads are presented in your UserCP >> Thread Display Options >> Thread Display Mode. The Threaded or Hybrid option may help.

The UserCP Thread Display Options don't really address this particular item, but I understand what you mean by "Not easy to do" if the program code is not accessible to you. Could you possibly suggest it to the vendor as a future inclusion in that case? It's kind of a PITA to keep some sort of thread continuity when going backwards in a multi-page thread . . .

Here's a suggestion for a possible solution . . . in generic "code" . . .

On "Go-to-new-page-Click", If "new page number" is greater than current page number, GOTO "Top-of-page" (what it does now regardless of direction of new page access in the thread), else GOTO "Bottom-of-page".

The program already "knows" the "currentpage#" displayed so that it's relationship to the "newpage#" value - greater or less - can then also be used to determine whether to display the "newpage#" at "Top-of-page" or "Bottom-of-page" . . .

Well, if you set the Thread display Mode to Linear - Newest First wouldn't that put the next post at the top of page 2?

bit slower but quicker than scrolling you can left click just above the "down "arrow bottom right of screen and it will go to the bottom of the page PDQ
