Next page button

Rob H · June 10, 2012, 01:41:53 PM

In posts where there are more than one page would it be possible to have a "next page" button ?. On here we have next and previous buttons but this refers to posts and not pages.
Currently we have the page numbers displayed but I suspect I am not alone in using the forum on my iPhone or iPad and it's really fiddly because the numbers are so small.
Just a thought !!

Have you tried the arrow keys on the keyboard on your phone?
I have just asked this question and the arrow keys are working for me Rob

Don't need new buttons, perhaps make what's there already bigger maybe?
More buttons just clogs up the screen!

Hardly think one more button is going to make alot of difference !!

Hi John,
I'd read your post regarding pics which prompted my post - unfortunately the iPhone & iPad don't have forward and previous buttons !

Probably not, though I suppose that depends on the size of your screen...

Hi Rob,

I just tried doing it on my HTC Desire HD and I agree the buttons are tricky to hit, it took me three attempts to hit the play button.

I did find it easier when I enlarged the picture to fit the screen, I managed to hit the play button first time then

I apologise for mentioning the arrow keys - brain dead moment

cheers John.

To stop the pages getting clogged up perhaps changing the page up and page down buttons, which I bet are hardly used, would solve the problem,

I use the forum on my iphone a lot myself. Have you tried double-tapping the screen on the area where the buttons are? It makes the screen zoom right in on the numbers.

Yeahbut, the number of 'doh' moments as I remember that 'next' doesn't take you to the next page, makes the original suggestion worth while!

Illori has now made some changes, so that there is now a button to click on if there are multiple pages in a thread.

I put my hand up, I cannot see this button anywhere?

Please tell me I cannot see it for looking at it

Neither can I and i have checked on other topics where there are pages of posts.

I think the next page button is a good idea

Really?

Just go to a post with multiple pages, and you'll see the << 1 2 3 4 >> buttons.

scotsoft · June 15, 2012, 08:45:22 PM

They have always been there
