Are ABers finding the effort of clicking twice too much for them?
leave as is.

[Rockrose]

If you can't do an extra click to get to the last page perhaps its time you hung up the laptop and retire in grace.

[Arksided]

Leave as is, its not too difficult either way but how many ABers will have just come across a thread then have to click back to the beginning.

[Mamyalynne]

That's a point I made on the thread about this Arky, so for some it works better one way for some the other - I tossed a coin for my vote as one click is no bother.

If like some people (not me), you are struggling to access AB on an ancient laptop or via a slow broadband link, then 'just clicking twice' every time you want to return to a thread can be a pain.

I think it makes sense to go to the last page (which of course will be page one for newish threads) - with a single click taking you to any other page if necessary.

[rowanwitch]

I'd prefer last , if I come to a thread late I want to see if it is still on topic before getting involved

[choux]

I can see the sense of AOG's question. If one posts a question (say in News) and one wishes to answer all replies it would facilitate efforts considerably. (I should worry about such a problem, lol.)

[Tashi]

No need for change, it is only one extra click on the Mouse after all.

[douglas9401]

I'm reminded of retiring in Grace, but I was a much younger man. :-)

[Tilly2]

I'd prefer to keep it as it is. It's more sequential that way. Easier to read, I believe.

From the names of the responders and their comments so far, this thread is turning into an AOG popularity poll.

[albaqwerty]

If it were to take you to the last page, and there was only one reply which was a reply to a previous post, then you'd need to click back to find out what's going on.
Leave as is.

And some of you can't have that can they?

That is why I can't see my request being at all successful, some of you anti-AOGs will vote against just to be awkward.

Why we had to have a vote I just don't know, we never had one for the more vast changes that have recently been made to AB.

[Mamyalynne]

A poll seemed a good idea to me, it's a subject that has been raised a fair few times over the years - nice to be asked our thoughts.

That is better than skipping through the number of pages in multi page threads surely.

'' some of you anti-AOGs will vote against just to be awkward. ''

oh my......

[dannyk13]

AOG, your paranoia is showing, nobody would base their vote on how they view you.

[albaqwerty]

No, AOG, I don't think clicking back is a better idea. I prefer to read the posts in chronological order - even if there's very little 'logical' about them :D
