On other forums I frequent they often have, as this one does, a page number indicator with previous/next buttons at the top of each page. However, most of them also have a repeat of those buttons at the bottom of each page as well. This forum does not (that I can see, unless I'm entirely blind).
So here you read a page, scroll all the way back to the top, click "next", read the page, scroll all the way back to the top...
It's not exactly onerous but it would be easier if you could cut the scrolling bit.
Is that an option with this Proboard software?

Admin might get his fingers dirty in the HTML page source to see what he can do, be prepared for total forum failure. |

Well it does on my Mac anyway. |

Smashing, ta. Works on IE. (Doesn't work with my normal browser, but that will be me. I'll play with settings to get it to go).
Very much appreciated, thank you.

That's really useful, thanks.
Next request:
Could something be added along side prev/next to take you back to top of subforum - like the arrow buttons do on C4P/HJ?

Well swipe me sideways with the rough edge of a pineapple, I'd either forgotten or didn't know about those arrows in C4P and have cursed that lack of that functionality a thousand times.
What a silly old Hector.

Hmmm Bit tricky, You may need to wait to wait for some time for that feature. I did however install a "back to top" red arrow on the r/h side. |

Oh that's what that is? I thought it was some kind of ghosting thing. Keep touching the freaking thing when I'm scrolling on the ipad. Not that I'm not grateful you understand...🙄

What, you mean the 'others' have to use a mouse or something? 😉

What, you mean the 'others' have to use a mouse or something? 😉 No, I mean they dot have to use the side scroll slider, being able to scroll with a finger in the middle of the page. |

Oh you can do that on Apple too. Just that I tend to use my right thumb to do it so the arrow thingy is a bit inconveniently placed. No worries though, I shan't go on about it. It's very good really, considering...😉

No it's fine honestly, I'll just have to get used to scrolling with my left thumb. Not ideal obviously, but a jolly good effort. No worries at all. Won't go on about it any more. Perfectly fine. Bit uncomfortable and counter intuitive, but hey, that's ok, not a problem at all. Totally fine, I'm sure we can all work around it....🙄

Perhaps changing your stars to purple would help?
