[Trick] Endless topics

ChalkCat:
Great minds eh? After I posted last night I reached the same conclusion and removed my bottom page index  ;)

emanuele:
lol

Another thing I was considering is to add some kind of "navigation/moderation bar" (pages, previous/next, up/down, breadcrumbs, moderation buttons and other things) in a fixed div somewhere since most of those will not be reachable when the trick is active.

Arantor:
Well, the search engines won't see any JavaScript so provided the regular pagination is working, they'll still crawl...

Groovystar:
This is a GREAT idea! I'd love to give it a try on my site. I imagine though that when someone makes a post to the topic, the page that they return to would be the end page of that topic, rather than the gigantic stream that they might have loaded beforehand? {This to prevent heavy use of resources.}

Also, let's say the topic has 200,000 replies. {Yes, I have one that does exceed this.} Would there be a way for it to avoid overload by eventually loading the next page by itself, say maybe every 500 replies or whatever was tolerable?

Yes, that's correct, but more than to avoid server load is because it would be rather complex to redirect to somthing that is generated "on-the-fly".

At the moment no, there isn't such a feature, but that wouldn't be too hard to implement.
* emanuele is just back from a marriage and he needs a bit of time to be able to code... :P
