Forum Display Enhancements - Sakera's Pagenav Improvement

What is this?

A hack to change how the page navigation works in threadbit, for threads there.

It's more likely that users that has followed the thread before needs the last pages, than the first ones, and new users starts at page #1 anyway. So the way it works originally isn't too good.

Se attached screenshot to understand this better.


Features
Follows the rules set in the vbulletin options for page navigation generally.

That the pagenav should start on the page the user last read ?

More that that, it should go to the first unread post. So if there are 50 posts a page, with a total of 170 posts on a thread, and the last post the person read was number #62, the thread should be initially displayed on page 2 and positioned on post #63.

The current VB logic determines the "first unread post" when processing the threaddisplay logic. So maybe a redirect is needed to so the page is displayed with a "#" anchor jump.
