Hey, am I the only one on this?

I read a Thread and scroll down to the bottom. I am glad the page numbers for the thread are at the top and bottom, but could you not also have the directory structure that is on the top, on the bottom as well. I realize I could use the 'back' feature, but sometimes *mozilla, i open a new tab for a thread, and then cannot go back to the main page when at the bottom, I have to scroll up. This may not sound huge, but is annoying.

Also, why is there not a *show all posts* button?? It's a awesome way to get caught up on a Thread quickly. This one is big asset for me.

Thanks Mods, RFD for life.

ps - make RFD tshirts please.

You could try changing the posts shown to 40 in your User CP. There's also an option for changing the thread style to "threaded". Though I can't remember exactly how that one works, not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Just a note about an "all posts" ability; some of the threads are between 200-10,000 posts, which could take awhile to download. RFD doesn't seem to have sufficient bandwidth to accomodate that; I experience between 20 seconds - 3 minute delays when loading some threads, with 15 posts in them.

Oh wow, thanks for the 40 post in CP advice, didn't know. And yeah I never fully thought out the 10,000 plus possiblility of a thread.

Hehe, yeah.

Don't think you'd want to click on the Pepsi iPod thread with that setting enabled. ;)

To get to the heirarchical nav at the top quickly, just hit the Home button. :)
