Paging Functionality Suggestion

Wow! Amazing changes, Chris. Incredible work.

My suggestion(s):
1. Paging controls should always be at the top AND bottom of any forum thread. Currently paging controls are only at the bottom. This has bothered me for years. I should like to page through a forum thread whether I am at the top or the bottom of it.

2. Seems like on this site, when viewing a multi-paged thread, the current page link is not styled to look different than the next or previous page link. In other words, if there are 5 pages in a thread, the numbered pages at the bottom of each page all look the same, 1,2,3,4,5... instead of something like 1,2,3,4,5, if I'm on page 3, for instance.

Keep up the awesome work!

p.s. what html editor/provider are you using here?

If you make it idiot proof, they'll build a better idiot.

Re: Paging Functionality Suggestion

Hey Chad, thanks for the feedback. Your first suggestion is one I already have in Gemini and is listed for a future version (when skinning changes happen). The second one is simply me still working on the theme made just for this site (it has taken a backseat). The actual default theme itself is fine though.

The editor I use here is the Telerik one, which I created a custom provider that determines toolbar items based on the user's role.

I agree with item 1. It is better to have pagination at top and bottom of post pages. Seems that #2 is already implemented in the beta and looks great.
