Long thread displays outside the thread,

[Ocean]

this is in refences to threads that are usually months old, and contain alot of posts.

well i see lots of threads that list pages like this,

i think all those early page numbers are useless when a thread is that long, most people would rather go in where they left off, or go in near the end so the posts in general could be more cohesive with where the thread developed over time.

and i think when they click on a visible number link, they would be more likely to remeber the approximate last page they viewed, which would help reduce superfluous browsing of image intensive threads, and that might reduce overall bandwidth waste on other servers and hardforum's servers.

so i propose that instead they should look like this,

it would make those long threads more usable imo.

Yeah, I agree with this. Another way would be to have like : "1,2,3...40...96,97,98" so if someone want to start from the start, middle or end, all 3 options is there.

Well, if you click on the DOWN ARROW by a thread, that will take you to the last post that you looked at on the thread, and if you click the RIGHT ARROW by the person's nick on the last post, it will take you to the last page.

Thanks for your suggestions.
