           Summary: Allow better paging of lists of threads/messages
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: LiquidThreads
        AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net

Each time when I select "mark as read" on a thread on the page "new messaegs
(some number)" of my personal user-specific links, the page is redisplayed and
both paging and scrolling are started from the newest thread. Since I do not
mark newer threads as read before having read then, and I read them in roughly
chronologial order, I have to page back to where I was before, then scroll down
to where I was before, and continue reading. With several 100 threads and
messages, this is extremely time consuming. I spend a magnitude more time
waiting for pages to be sent to me just to immediately go to the next page, and
scrolling down than actually reading. Unfortunately I do not have a choice to
avoid using this extension, else I would.

Thus I suggest to enhance paging in a way allowing to jump to specific
pages/threads/messages, e.g. via a numbered list of links, or a set of number
input fields such as: Go to page [__] thread [__] message [__]
Of course, these numbers should be shown on the pages, next to the threads and
messages.
