Functions
--------------

• If you can't already tell from the example, you can set anchors in your posts via the [anchor] tag, and create a link that enables the user to jump to them via the [jump] tag. This comes very handy if you want to make a navigation for your forum rules, tutorials, or any other list-type post. Best of all, using cube root, the javascript function I made allows for a smooth/exponential jump.

Features
------------

• prioritization: if there are multiple anchors - it uses DOM nesting detection to choose the anchor which is within the post containing the jump tag being clicked
• optional cross-page jumping (hyper-link to anchors!)
• optional key-shortcuts (remembers last anchor and last jump)
• uses setInterval as oppose to a loop for best performance
• works on all internet browsers
• works on every version of vBulletin

Installation
------------------

• Just download the zipped txt attached to this post with the 3 easy installation steps. Follow them and it's as easy as cake. Enjoy!

Hyperlinking Anchors
-----------------------------

• To hyperlink anchors, your link must contain a reference to the post the anchor is in and the anchor of which to jump to
• Heres the 2 possible ways (order of paramters doesn't matter - as long as the link contains the anchor parameter and a hash(#) to the post, or the p parameter to the post):
• nameofanchor is the name of the anchor
• 1337 is the number of the post which contains the anchor
• http://site.com/etcetcetc?anchor=nameofanchor&p=1337
• http://site.com/etcetcetc?anchor=nameofanchor#post1336

Key-Shortcuts
-----------------------------

• There are two keyshortcuts: Alt+A and Alt+J
• Alt+A (Anchor Shortcut) jumps you to the last anchor that you previously jumped to
• Alt+J (Jump Shortcut) jumps you to the last jump tag you previously clicked

Look at the demo using test:test.
It basically lets you put bookmarks in your posts using the [anchor] BBcode.
then you can make a link which jumps to the bookmarks using the [jump] tag

I looked at it using the name and password you gave. I just didn't see where the places where you have there to click to show what it does.

Look at the long list of red links, and click one of those.

Also a very nice method of scrolling, the decreation of speed as it gets closer is a very nice effect

Ooooohhhhh, I like that now that I see it work.

You have to use thew jump to go where the anchor is right?

That is so cool, is there a way to return to the point of origin?

Is anybody else having hyperlinking anchor problems on RC1?

Javascript error:
Jump Error: 'http://www.forums.530riders.net/showthread.php?anchor=test&p=31274' does not exist.

Also tried substituting showpost.php for showthread
Great hack pimpery, pretty too!

Heya Fat Dadday ,

The jump tag only takes an anchor name as a parameter, and is only used for single-page jumping.

To crossjump use :
http://www.forums.530riders.net/show...r=test&p=31274

as the url itself.

Sorry for the delayed response - I was taking the LIRR from Stonybrook University back to my home in Brooklyn.

Boofo: Yes - you use the jump tag to jump to an anchor with the specified name
JohnBee - If you'd like I could add a key shortcut (such as Alt+J) to jump back to the last place a jump was clicked. Tell me if you'd like this idea and I'll do it for you.

FD929 (or Fat Daddy as sirbutts called ya) ,
I guess he answered your question - thanks sirbutts!
