Have you had this problem?
Lets say you enter the randomness topic (like the pic above) and wanted to go to a page (say in the 150's).
Well you would need to go to page 2, then page 3, next page 4, and so on.
Why not have something like this?:
Option One:
Option Two:
Option Three:
Which would you like for the forums?

Oh, I love this!
I hate having to scroll 1-2 pages at a time to find something 8 pages away.

| Yes, definately. Maybe a drop down menu comes but you can also write in the page number. I hate trying to find things in the middle of long threads. |

Did you know that there are fifteen posts by page, and you can easily calculate the exact post you need to reach a certain page, then enter that post in the url?

I don't think anyone besides yourself would prefer that idea to having a better thread navigation system.

It can be an alternative until ioji decides to upgrade the boards. (Because I'm afraid he can't add any new function that isn't already possibly available on this version.)

It does'nt seem to HUGE of a update that he would have to change the Entire Forum i think if a Topic has less then 5 Pages it does not need this, this topic by it self would not need one, No?  |

Rarely ever do I need to check a page before/after the fast jump options.
I don't think it's a huge problem.

Seconded. The few times I do need to go back for whatever reason, I am unsure of the page number and just keep going back until I find what I am looking for.
That's not to say it's a bad idea, a feature like this could easily be added on to the page as a "Go to Page: xx" option.
