    Default Not a help thread, but pertaining to this forum

    The number of pages in this subform are getting quite long (56 pages) and is stretching out the tables of the post topic's. maybe its time to truncate them down a bit?Not delete them, but dont list every single page at the top to be clicked.

    For example have it show pages 1-5, then every 5th page after that. That way the currently revelant info is still eaisily accessed, without the clutter of teh ancient stuff that only applies to obsolete versions of srl/scar.

    Apologies in advance if you dont like where this is posted, but it seems the best place to put it.

    PS. maybe have this method for all subforms? Keep the unity of the board. I know its possible tip.it/zybez has something similarish. Unless the SRL board code cant do it.

    yeah its starting to piss me off a bit.. like in the love thread its stretched all the way out.. and in these sub forums..

    maybe you could have a drop-down selection
    or a blank box that you can type into... which says next to it "out of 84 pages" or whatever pages it has all up

    yeah, but its not a really big deal. i have only seen it get out of hand on two threads. (one being wizzups ess miner ofcourse)

    im pretty sure there is a simple hack to get it down to just a few of them, like
    1,2,3,4....34,35,36,37,....54,55,56

    but who knows, its a pain to have to go through hacking your fourm.

    I would think so as well, or maybe there is even just a patch that has already been made that just needs to be applied?

    I don't remember what section it was, but it had 80 pages. When each page-link is back to back with the next, that's damn long.

    I vote for "Shorten it"
