Say I wanted to go back and look at page 373 of a forum. I have two options, I can go work my way there from page 1, or I can work backwards from the last page. I think that they should add an input bar, where you type the page in and it takes you there.

They can also do it with games, so you don't have to sift through numerous pages just to get to the one you want.

Anyone else agree?

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

Just add this to the end of the URL after the forum ID part.

Meh....I'm not so sure about something like that on the forums because I don't really see a reason why we'd need one.

Let's say that somebody wanted to look at a page of threads. Why would they want to do so? If they were using it to look for something, they might land fairly close to the mark if it were a less-active forum with less pages. However, if someone was using this to look for something in the Halo 3 forum, which has over 10,000 pages, what are the odds that they'd land even roughly close to the mark? In the end, I think that using the search feature is ultimately easier for looking for things, unless the post was fairly recent, in which case you could simply flip back a few pages. If the only reason why they wanted to view page 373 was just to see what was on that page...well, I'm not so sure.

Using muffin man's method does the same thing :|

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Just go to page 2, then change the 2 to whatever page you want in the address bar.
