Pagination Vs. Infinite Scroll
I’m moving an off topic discussion on this subject from another thread for continued dialog.

RE: Pagination Vs. Infinite Scroll
@craig10x said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:
Thanks so much…now i get it…
Is it better to have pagination enable or disabled? And if enabled…how many posts per page?I would try both for a while and see which meets your personal preferences. I really like infinite scroll but found it jumped around too much when I scrolled up or down too quickly, causing me to loose my orientation for where I was in the thread. This was more of an issue for a thread with a lot of replies (try it out on the welcome refugees thread in the Announcements forum). Pagination felt too limited to me as I’m used to having 100 posts per page on FW, and 50 (the maximum here) felt too brief, but I’m getting used to it and prefer it over infinite scroll now.
To keep this thread on topic, I’m going to create a new thread in the support forum so that we can continue the discussion there.

RE: Pagination Vs. Infinite Scroll

I’m kind of confused about this…not familiar with pagination view…how do i make my view display the page list? Do you mean in settings…i am using the default and it has pagination view checked…but i am not seeing page numbers at the bottom of the thread page…
@craig10x said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:
I unchecked pagination and saved the setting but i am still not seeing page numbers at the bottom…i must be missing something…However, whether pagination is on or off, i just noticed that you can change the page numbers from the very top of the screen…there are up and down arrows, you can type in a particular page number and with the arrows far to the left and right, you can jump to 1st page or last page…
Is that what you were talking about?..didn’t notice it before…i guess i can use that…
If I may chime in @craig10x, when pagination is enabled, you will not see the page navigation tool at the bottom of the page unless the number of posts in the thread is greater than the number of posts per page you set in the pagination settings on your account.
For example, your last post was the 26th reply to this thread. If pagination is set to initiate at 50 replies (the default setting), there is no need for a page tool at the bottom of the page because there are no pages in this thread yet. If you set the pagination tool to 20 replies, you will see the page navigation tool appear at the bottom.
If you want pages enabled, you must re-check pagination in your settings.
When you click on the “out of” between the post/reply count on the tool bar at the top of the page, you can enter a number to jump to the nth post in the thread (your last post was post # 26 so type that in to test this): it is not a page number navigator, but a post number navigator. The single up/down arrows on either side reverse or advance your view 1 post at a time (not a page at a time). The double up/down arrows take you to the very beginning and very end of the thread, respectively, as you noted.
Once pagination is activated by enough posts, the pagination tool at the bottom of the page has backward and forward arrows to navigate a full page at a time. As shown in the link provided by @mikk1, on mobile devices the page navigation tool also has the double arrows to jump to the beginning or end of a thread.

RE: **Resolved** Chat entry area too small
@wallyky said in Chat entry area too small:
It looks like it matches the pop-up text entry box with about 2.5 lines of text visible.
I’ve never seen such rapid response from a dev team, so kudos to all (especially @dangeRuss)!I absolutely have to agree. You would hardly know they’ve had such short notice and limited resources given what they’re accomplishing here (and the development team has been mostly @dangeRuss until a couple of days ago).

@my4mainecoons said in **Resolved** Website Experiencing Technical Difficulties:
hmmm. maybe this was why I was unable to change forums.
How do we mark a thread as expired?
Can you change forums now. The tech issues were solved early yesterday evening, so it shouldn’t be impacting anything today.
To mark a thread expired, click the 3 vertical dots under the OP and select “flag this post for moderation.” Type in what it is you need help with and the next moderator to see it will move it to the expired folder in the deals forum.
If the thread is not in the deals forum and you are the OP, just edit the title to put EXPIRED at the beginning of it to let the other members know.

RE: [Repost] Post Order request
So, you want to also be able to sort by the date a thread was created, in the order they were posted (newest to oldest and vice versa)? I’d like to see that too. I hope that that is something easy for @dangeRuss to enable.

3 mbps? that’s what it said the last time I did a speed check
Speed probably wasn’t an issue since @FrugalFreak and I replicated the error on Mac, PC and android mobile with fast upload speeds.
