I think an idea not a real problem but something that could be done to the forums is that there can be a scroller for the pages. Example:
Currently there is the First page 1 2 3 or Last Page 999 1000 1001
Well I think there can be a scoller type thing that you can click and you can skip to any page. Because some threads and TONS of I don't think there is one. Tell me what you think.

Only thing. RDT has many many pages. So, that would take up a lot of space on teh forums.

No moose it is like the catecorys at that site. Go to the Dawg Pound site and we have one (in my siggy just go to TDP and look at a long topic It is at the top of the thread on the left). And meat it would show all the pages it would something like this:

Go to page: 1
2
3
4
and maybe so on, but you would have only ten at a time so you can move through the pages easily. And it can be used in all the threads

Iron mean something like what you see here.

If you go to any thread there with more than 1 page, and find out how to switch pages... You just found out what iron meant as well.

Well I got neged for saying i "copied this idea from TDP" . I am almost positive that other sites use this idea. I know TDP does and so does SDI (or atlease something like it). Does any1 else think i copied this idea?

EDIT: Sorry for double post kinda different topics.

First of all, TDP wasn't the first forum in history to claim the idea of a drop-down page number menu. You can't say that Ironhorse STOLE the idea since he could have seen this on countless other forums.

Iron is in TDP so I don't think he would try to secretly steal his clan's forum style. He's simply suggesting something, not trying to trick everyone into believing he invented the drop-down menu.

Even if he did try to "copy it from TDP", why would you neg over it? Who cares? It's just a suggestion and it's not a bad one.
