Page numbers at the top disappeared?! - About xda-developers.com

I tried to ignore this but it is really bugging me. You cannot change the page from the top any more. I have to scroll all the way down just to change the page. Some of you are probably thinking "what a lazy git!" but it's seriously annoying having to scroll down every time i want to see the latest comments on a thread. Is there any way to get this back?

It will be fixed at some point, no doubt, but for now save your scroll wheel and finger the hassle and just press the end key

Hahaha I just googled this because I knew someone would've posted a thread about it. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Hahah I am hating it just as much as you are. Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch or something.

It's quite annoying because I automatically think I'm on a one-page thread (hence, the wrong thread most of the time).

It will be fixed, but for a temporary measure see this post...

Hope this is fixed soon. I had to google it to find this thread. The page numbers use to be on the top and bottom correct?

Forum jump tab missing?

Seems like for the last week or so the forum jump tab that was located at the bottom/right of the screen has gone missing. So now the only way to go to another subforum is to click at the home icon located at the top/left of the screen. Any reason this option was disabled, or is it just me?
Srsly? No one else has this missing?

Yes, missing for me as well. I LOVE that feature!

Yup, we removed it because we found an opportunity to improve performance on the site. Turns out that little drop down include a TON of HTML calls.
Our impression was that few people used it. If it turns out that it is greatly missed, we'll bring it back, but we rather enjoy the slight boost in I/O performance.

Sucks that there isn't some way to to quick jump, or navigate back from the bottom of the page, to at least the last forum browsed. Apparently not many people do use quick jump because its not so much missed judging by the lack of traffic on the subject
Bummer hope they bring it back.
I always miss it when it's removed (I've seen it for the same reason on other forums), but I know it does make quite a load on the server.

I miss it. Forum jump was a great tool, saved time by not having to go to index to change sub forum.

What happened to the upper-page jump to ?

What happened to the upper-page jump to page links ?
There was an page link at the TOP and Bottom of the form page!
But Now ONLY the bottom of the thread .. Its a real pain in the Butt!

Yes please. This stinks. I guess i must have something with having readers scroll thru as much info before making a post.
But you cant destroy the user experience for all the rest just because of a few.
Please change it back, pronto!
Are we saving electricity or real estate? Please bring that top page switcher back!! It was great before it was "improved"!

Never thought about it this way, but that could be one reason. However it's pretty annoying, for example, when you're looking through a thread to figure out where you are, and you go to the next page, see that you've been on this one already, and have to go to the bottom to go to the next page. And since the bottom of the page is not actually where the next page button is, it takes some time.

Hmm, so no conspiracy you say.... Hmmm

Yea ! Thanks ! I was sure hoping to hear that !
Hope you find the bug as soon as possible because this situation is very annoying.
Scroll down to bottom of page and change theme from xda 2010 to xda classic and you will have upper page jump back. It changes the look, but you will have the jump back.
I'm glad to know it's a bug, I thought I changed something
It's indeed very annoying without it.
Good luck finding the bug.
btw, if I switch to 'hybrid mode' I get the page numbers back. But it's a not really in the right place. Maybe it helps.
It has been restored now.
thank you
thanks xda-developers

[Q] Forum search missing?

I was going to look something up last night and I was not able to find the forum search tools. The only search is the device search at the very top. I thought it might be a temporary issue so I just waited and tried again today and still can't find it. Have I become blind or what?
It's still there (directly beside the device search).
As soon as I submitted the post the other menus along with the search menu appeared...???? Problem fixed but wonder what the heck the deal was?

Maybe the page wasn't loaded properly or something. It never went away for me.
I was looking for the forum search tools. I think both of the searches at the top are meant to find a specific device, although one will somewhat work as a general site search.

That was my first thought last night, I closed and restarted the browser and even the computer. Plus it was the same way today. Just a fluke I guess, I never realized how much we depend on that little button. LOL

It depends on the theme you are using. If you use the "2010" theme, it will be there. If you use the "2013 beta or 2013 beta - 1024" it will not.
Didn't know I had a choice of themes. Have to look into that.

Just scroll to the bottom of the page and choose one from the drop down.

New issue with Chrome Beta since 7.1.1 - Page Jumping

Ok so maybe this is a Chrome beta issue but it started when updated to 7.1.1.
Every time Im on a long page Im viewing, I cannot scroll all the way down. Ill pull the page down and then it will jump back up to the top.
For example, when Im on Amazon.com and I click "read more" on a review for something. It will expand the review but then the page will jump to the bottom of the review. Then Ill try scrolling up to the beginning of the review and it will keep jumping down to the bottom.
This is really frustrating and its happening on many different sites including this one.

This seems to be a chrome bug. Click/press/ tap on a non link element and you can then scroll. If you click on a link or button it seems to keep that link or button focused and when you move away from it snap you back. Just tap something that isn't a link and scroll away

Holy cow! I can't believe the solution was that easy. Just tried it a couple times to confirm. Thank you.

Drop down phone suggestion box.

I apologise for the noobish question but can someone tell me how to get rid of this phone forum suggestion box? I can't see or get to the forum menu of threads, lol!
Maybe close few tabs and try again lol.

I had to uninstall Chrome's last update, then update again.... weird.
Those weren't tabs. If you view xda via chrome there is what is supposed to be a single line of what I guess is popular forums. My bar expanded to two or more lines to where I could not see the top of my screen...it would not go away. I'm not sure what I did to make that happen.
