When I look at it, I see the pagination links at the top and bottom like so (from page 1):
<< Start < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next > End >>

From there you can hit end to go the last page, or go to page 10 then next, etc. That'll change the pagination to:
<< Start < Prev 11 12 13 14 15 16 Next > End >>

Am I right in thinking you guys want it to be changed so you get say, 3 pages either side of the one you're on? (i.e. like so:)

<< Start < Prev 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next > End >>

Yes please Ian, that would be a great help. Thank you!!

It would also be helpful if the Last Post link (on the main Forum Topics page) did in fact go to the last post instead of the first post?
Cheers
