Could we have a page selector for threads/forums?

[yoda313]

Hello,

I have a suggestion, could we have a page selector for forums and long threads???

Some threads have so many pages you can't select the individual page you want without going through each page. And sometimes in forums it would be nice to go back a few pages to find something you remembered seeing....

Just a suggestion.... Keep up the good work Baldrick

Good suggestion. I wonder if it's possible with this software?

Hello,

No I mean to go to an INDIVIDUAL page. You know if it doesn't show up because there are too many of them.....

Kevin

EDIT -



If you don't want to go through each page it would be nice to pick the page that doesn't show up (in this case pg 7 or page 8). It would just be quicker than paging through each one.
