last page link in multi thread

[soundbarrierpro]

How do you get the "last page" link to show up on multi-thread topics? Instead of opening the topic then having to click through until the last page?

Thank you

You mean having it show on the page with the list of threads - like (1,2,3... last page)? vboptions > general settings > number of pages visible in page navigator. Last page will show if you have more than that many number of pages in the thread.

Hi Lynne. Yep, that's what I'm talking about. Mine is set to "3" and I don't get the "last page". Just 3 page number links then a next arrow marker.

I also don't get this, ultimately it's what I want though.

You get an arrow instead of "Last Page"? It sounds to me like your templates were changed. Try doing this - Create a new style with no parent - Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style > no parent - then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still get arrows or do you get Last Page?

Ok, actually I see it does create a "last" link when I open the thread; but only when the thread is open. The topic doesn't create the pages and last link though. For instance. My topic is 17 threads long over 2 pages. When I open the topic it has 1, last page. On the topic itself in the forum display it doesn't have it like the pic I provide.

What do you have that setting set to?

Number of Pages Visible in Page Navigator
On thread and forum pages, as well as private messaging lists and other places, if there are multiple page number links to be displayed, this setting determines how many are shown on either side of the page currently being viewed. Setting this to 0 will cause all page links to be displayed.

If you have that set to 4, then a two page thread will never show Last Page, it will just show (1,2).

How about if I change to 0?

That is answered in what I quoted above:

Setting this to 0 will cause all page links to be displayed.

Oops my bad, I was looking at setting to 4 and confused the two.

Thanks Lynne!
