I know that it has been suggested to have the navigation style such as: Goto page: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10   [Next >>]

This is NOT what I'm suggesting.  I realize that -boRg- has stated that the majority of people desired having the drop down box.

Instead, I suggest the ability to quickly click to the next page something like "<< Prev Page | Next Page >>".  BUT place the drop down box in between the Previous, and Next.  The coding required to go forward and back pages would be extremly simple.  Here's an example of what I envision.

This would enable you to:

  • Maintain the drop down box so that you can jump to any page. (Requires two-clicks.)
  • AND Allows you to go forward to the next page in... get this... ONE click! "OHHH.... AHHHH"

Please vote in the poll above.  Maybe I'm weird but I thought this might be a good idea!

Give up it's staying how it is and I'm not being budged on this!

Having next a previous links around the drop down box will confuse new users as thay won't knwo what its about.

Having page 3 of 10 is simple to understand (the 3 being in the drop down box) and won't confuse or overwhelm the user. Case studies has shown that users home in on things like drop down boxes so a user shouldn't miss it and with the present text around it they shouldn't missinterprate it for something else.

If you don't like it then you are welcome to change it on your own board yourself, but stop pestering me to change it. I like it how it is I write the forum so it is staying!

Ouch.   I apologize.  Didn't mean to step on toes.  I was just throwing an idea out there.  I'll drop it.

Could you please add a drop down box to the top of the page too? It is very useful to have one at the top and the bottom of the page...
