About Developer · **Released**: 09-01-2014

I'm not sure if something like this has been released already, but here it is:

This little modification will make it possible to use the arrow left and right key on your keyboard to go to the next or previous thread in the current forum. Note that it will only work when you are viewing a thread already.

Installation:
1) Open the SHOWTHREAD template of your style.
2) Paste the contents of the attached file above the {vb:raw footer} variable.

That's it, now you can use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to go to the next/previous thread of the current forum.

Mark as installed = support.

Cool but how will people even know to use this?

The administrator will have to announce this although this is more of a "hidden" feature.
Currently fixing a bug when a hashtag is present in the URL.

Sounds like a neat trick. Would it be possible to do this on the current thread's pages instead?

hey Dave - sorry to dust this one off but when I add this in, the following is added to the URL and it stays on the current thread

Code:

&goto=nextnewest

OR 

&goto=nextoldest

add to this, if I hit the keyboard multiple times, it just adds another oldest or newest code to the URL

Code:

&goto=nextnewest&goto=nextoldest&goto=nextoldest&goto=nextoldest&goto=nextoldest&goto=nextoldest

tried this on Chrome and Firefox. If the code is depreciated, let me know

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
