I mean in the case you already read page 1 for example, and don't want to open the topic on page 2 first, but go to page 1 to re-read it for example. That happens quite often for me. In the previous layout I could do that by choosing either the "new" link or the thread name. Now I don't have the choice anymore.
I had the issue with this thread for example : http://polycount.com/discussion/68788/tech-artist-what-are-you-working-on-forever-edition Now that I visited it to the last page, I get the #latest link. This is odd because two/three days ago I already read the last page when new posts were posted. Running on Chrome…
Sorry about this. It does require 2 clicks now... open the thread, click page 1 (or scroll to top). Vanilla says clickable page numbers in the thread list are contrary to their core design, so they won't add them. But what's weird is it's already there... if you open a huge thread, you can click on the page numbers at top…
