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

in 3.6.4 this bbcode don't give problema but it doesn't work... Installed ok but at the end you are not able to use it while writing a post... any ideas?

I have installed this mod and it works well. I am using it for footnote functionality, and have even used it within GARS integrated with multiple page content using the cross-page jumping technique. Thanks!

I do have a desire to either increase the scroll speed or eliminate the scroll effect in entirety. Could someone help me with either/both? Perhaps defaulting to scrolling at an accelerated rate with same-page anchors and eliminating the scroll within cross-page jumping would be a nice feature. Considering that different browsers and styles result in different scroll speeds, my end preference may be to eliminate scrolling entirely. As I am using this with large literature documents with extensive footnote references, the scrolling effect can become quite tedious.

I see that there hasn't been much activity on this for a couple of years. Does anyone use this with 3.7 or is there another way to do an "Anchor"?

After a little more research, looks like I can take care of it by using the thread over at vb.com
