Small but irritating quirk on board

Doug: whenever a thread goes multiple pages, the thread title shows how many pages like this (pages: 1, 2,...X) with 'X' being the last page. When I see a larger 'X' than I remembered, I click on it and then find I need to select 'X-1' because the few replies that I missed are on the bottom of the next to last page. Our world would be a teeny bit improved if you could make the title appear like this: (pages: 1,...X-1,X).
I know squat about programing this stuff as I bailed after a semester of Basic and Fortran IV.

edit: Oh, and another thing; when a page gets full of responses, just about ready to make a new page, you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to get to "Today's Posts". I've already seen everyone's pictures of their fish, food, trucks, stairways etc going down the page.
A "Today's Posts" link at the bottom of the page would remove this small, tiny irritant.

With that headline, I thought you were talking about yourself

Ah jeez, I must be slipping - should have seen that one coming.....

Santiago,
I know you meant me as a Quirk, ignore those impostors, and stand by for a terrible payback!

Wow, good tip, thanks. Never knew the arrows were active. That's MUCH better.

I think Quark is more appropriate:
In nature, quarks are not isolated. These are always in groups, called hadrons , two or three quarks, known as mesons and baryons respectively. This is a direct consequence of color confinement . In 2003, experimental evidence was found of a new partnership of five quarks, the pentaquark[ 1 ]although their existence is still controversial. [

on the other hand a Quirk is:
1. A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy: "Every man had his own quirks and twists" (Harriet Beecher Stowe).
2. An unpredictable or unaccountable act or event; a vagary: a quirk of fate.
3. A sudden sharp turn or twist.
4. An equivocation; a quibble.

Use this chart to avoid them nasty little fellers.

While that would be easier to implement - I would point out Pompano's note about the triple-arrows linking you back to the top of the page for just that reason.

Small but irritating quirk on board

I thought he meant

"Small but irritating squirt on the board"

But that has other connotations, I guess.
