Which style of Thread listing would you prefer in a forum? (assume this is an entry for a thread that has enough posts to spread acrossed 4 pages)
*Note these are all empty links

Welcome to my thread! (pg. 1, 2, 3, 4)
Welcome to my thread! >>

>> = Last page

the one that has links to each page. if the thread has more than X number of pages, then cut out some of them, such as:

Thread Title - 2 3 4 ... 198 199 200

that, plus a link at the end linking specifically to the last page of the thread, would be spiffitastic.

I like the first one. I think it is better becuase then you dont have to be a clicker and click every number or edit your browser.

Frankly, I prefer the GameFAQs way of doing it, where you have (First Page, Previous Page, Next Page, Last Page) on top, and the individual pages on the bottom. Makes it so I can get anywhere I want to without having to randomly click, or manually editing the URL.

I like ti the way it is here and on phpBBs. Having each page individualy numbered is much better. You can go to any page you like, from any page.

No no no, Once you are actually LOOKING at a thread you would see the typical navigation similar to what HyperHacker posted. I'm talking when you are looking in a forum, and you get the list of like 25 threads or whatever. If any of the threads span more than a page, than it would use the format I'm asking you about.

Well in that case, I'd go with a button. When you click it, it uses Javascript to reveal the clickable page numbers. This way you don't get the clutter and can still jump to any page.

Example:
[before]
This is a long thread! [>]

[after]
This is a long thread! [<]
Pg 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Each page number being clickable, of course.

I prefer to have have links to all of the pages immediately available from the thread index. In other words: the former with none of HyperHacker's suggestions.

I tend to go back to the index after reading each page and then clicking in the next page number link. I also tend to keep scripting turned off.

*shrugs*

My answer is still the same. The way AcmlmBoard & phpBB do it is fine by me. Though I do prefer the way phpBB puts the links UNDER the thread title, and not beside it.

before the code.

I know. And I plan to do that to my board soon. Probably on Monday. But I was giving Yarx feedback.

I think it should be exactly like it is now on Acmlm-Boards. I hate it when it cuts out the middle pages and only show the first and last three numbers.

I think this board's thread page number system needs some changing. Maybe just display about 5 pages, and then end it with an arrow or dots to indicate there are more pages. I think just having a ton of thread page number links looks ugly. For example, look at this: http://board.acmlm.org/forum.php?id=32
