Adds previous and next arrows before and after the page #'s for each topic.

Just another way to navigate through topic pages.

For Example:  Pages: << 1 ... 3 4 [5] 6 7 >>

Note: This is an extremely simple edit (YES, just 3 EDITS total), especially compared to my other MODs, created this for a user at Graphics Mayhem, and figured someone else would like to have this as well, since this option comes standard on other forum software.

I, personally, don't see a need for such a MOD, but I'm not everyone and perhaps there are others out there that will find this MOD useful.

Well, for what it's worth, ENJOY!

Thank you very nice mod 1.1.X vs ?

You could add this to the master function Subs.php, making it two edits and also instantly have it available on all themes (cf. my related mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2025)) and also instantly compatible on both 1.1 and 2.0.

Thanks Arantor, will do in next version, will also change the name to Next/Prev Page.  So, are you saying that the Subs.php function that does this hasn't changed at all in SMF 1.1.x compared to SMF 2.0.x??

Anyways, currently working on yet another MOD, so will have to wait.

Yes, that's precisely what I'm saying - that's why Page Dropdown works fine in 1.1 and 2.0 without any changes at all.

wow, good to know.

Nice work. And thanks for the detailed desc.

This is a great mod and I can't think why it's not a standard part of SMF. Who uses the Previous/Next Topic links anyway?

So, please please can you make this RC4 compatible.

Honestly, I don't understand why it was never incorporated either.  Give me a few and will update it to RC4.

Cheers :)

Ok, it's ready for RC4, version 1.2.  Updated.  There might be problems with it in other themes, but looks great in SMF's default Curve Theme.

Cheers :)

The mod installed instantly on my forum which is 2.0 RC4.

It's not listed as supporting 1.1.x -- would this mod in its current state work with 1.1.16?

No.

Any chance for an update on this mod? I'm running a site on 2.0.14 and get a warning trying to install it.
