Hi, Im one more of the esatoīs wappers (despite this moment) and I gladly to see improvements in wml version of esato site.
Anyway, I think I could surf esato faster if the link "Last post in thread" were at the top or near of it.
Thanx in advance
PD. Hope this donīt piss off anyone

What? It's fine where it is. The guys in the background of this site work like hell to make sure you can look at the site. And what thanks do they get? None!

Both of u r right. I made already thoughts of put last post where oco wrote, but it depends on laffen and d mods. Reg

Hey Dean, it was just a suggestion
You sounds so angry
Posted by Deanlambert
Not angry, just annoyed that the guys in the background work like hell and get no thanks for it. The last post thread in my opinion is already in the best place. Having it at the top would confuse things.

I think its worth trying. I have thought of it too :-)

all i need to do is press "0", "1" to go back to the homepage, "#" to go forward a post etc. but that's using XHTML (i think)
Posted by Vlammetje
yes that's xhtml and not all phones read that.
then..... from my point of view, it would be confusing to move one link and not the rest.
Moving all links to the top of the page would probably result in massive non-reading of posts, which kinda defeats the purpose of having a forum.
Besides it would involve rewriting the script (well part of it anyway) to change the linkage.... and all that for something that I think in the order of priorities is WAY DOWN the list....
In other words.... Oco... it's not about surfing as fast as possible. it's about having a conversation with eachother and for that you oughta read the post anyway, after which you'd have to scroll back up...... I think it would not be an improvement at all.

My point exactly. It really wouldn't work, and i lot of people wouldn't like it.
Posted by Payalnik
I wish it was possible to set a hotkey for the links, that would be the best solution

To be honest I think it works just fine the way it is.

I think its not a bad idea.
I have many times come back to the same thread and then only the last post(s) are intresting to me and you want to get to the end of the thread quick!
I think the best would be if you automatically jump to the lasy post of a thread if you're on wap and read it before. Perhaps it would be good to limit this to long threads, e.g. with 50 or more posts.
I dont think anyone will read through all 57 posts of a thread on wap anyway
Just my idea. What doya think?

Then there can be this preferences option.

I usually just bookmark the last post i've read and continue on from there. Not much of a hassle and you can load it straight away without having to locate the thread first.
Posted by floke
@Vlam: true, you dont have to locate the thread but you have to see that first post in the thread everytime
You could wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me to cite the first post in Swedish Forum and I would tell it exactly
Posted by Deanlambert
Go on then
Posted by Oco
Wow lots of interesting replies. I see n understand ur point Vlam, thanx. I really apreciate Esato efforts
Posted by Deanlambert
I'm still saying it would be a bad idea.

I can cite quite a few 'first posts' as well but that's because 'click here to see your post' actually directs you to the first post of the thread
Posted by Deanlambert
Go on then! Word for word. No cheating
Posted by Oco
oh well I can do it with Peruvian thread called "Foro Peruano!!!". It says BIENVENIDOS
(actually we have to reduce it to reach early the "Last Post in thread" link ). BTW, here I come with another suggestion
Search results are usually big. The "search in" options "could" be available in wap version of Esato too...
Posted by Ayush
Why not just put a link to the last post in the options menu?
Posted by Deanlambert
I think it should be left where it is. I don't like the option where you can go to a certain number post. Can't see the point in it, but then again i don't use it
