Newest Pages in Threadbit

[LanciaStratos]

Currently, when you have a multi-page thread listed in showthread, it lists the page numbers as (1,2,3 ... Last Page). Wouldn't it be great if "Last Page" was replaced with links to the latest page numbers? For example, (1,2,3 ... 8,9,10). It would be very helpful for times when you know that several pages have been posted since you last visited the thread.

I don't think it would be all that hard to accomplish...anyone care to comment on this?

If anyone feels like doing this, what you're looking to change is the construct_page_nav() function in the /includes/functions.php file

Thanks for the help, Colin. Hopefully it will be a popular hack...I think it would be a helpful addition to any forum.

Just going to bump this up...I think it would be a useful hack to see on every vB board I visit.
