I have a question / suggestion for the "shortcuts" to pages in large topics. Like this:

How hard would it be for you to change from presenting shortcuts like this:

1 | 2 | 3 | ... | 743

to like this:

1 | 2 | 3 | ... | 741 | 742 | 743

i.e. including "n-1" and "n-2" rather than just "n".

I'd like this too.

I'd also like a go to page edit box.

Would like Preview box prior to posting/submitting. This would include Youtube and image previews as well as text. Is it also possible to have text colours ? Also I can never get Underline to work.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Colour? Yes, it is possible. But I don't think it's advisable.

Possible for you, but stripped out for us mere mortals!

I just posted that as an example of the bullshittery that would become.

Also, what about sizes and fonts? Can you imagine how hard to read this?

Pretty; but not really what my original question was!

Oh, yes, sure. The question! I am not sure - I have to look at the code but it probably would require a few changes to make sure things don't explode. Will look.

You're taking me right back to Geocities days. May as well put a webring link at the bottom of the page!

OK I get your point BUT would like Preview box prior to posting/submitting. At the moment if I am going to do long posts I create in TextEdit, correct, copy & paste, then post, a bit laborious don't you think ?

Plus Underlining does appear in Reply box but does not appear in actual post. eg. I underlined posting/submitting
