Feature request: enter a page number for forums and sections.

It's great that many websites that have a huge list in pagination that lets user jump to specific page without tediously going 1 page at a time (as well as showing the last number to get to the end without having to “scroll” through the numbers).

Here is an example:

Originally posted by Page number to jump to:
1 2 3 ... 500


But would it be cool if there is an input box that lets the user jump to a specified number instead of the number range shown, for example:

Originally posted by Page number to jump to:
1 2 3 ... 500 Jump to specific page:


This would be great for forums, sections, and pretty much anywhere when there are a lot of content that would make the page number such a large value, that way, I can jump to any number, say 200, without having to pick the closest number, and try to “scroll” through it until it appears on the page list number.

No-one will probably bother doing that so here's a workaround you can try: Go to page 2, then find something that looks like "page=2" in the URL and change that to the page number you want to go to. If you really want then you can create a Tampermonkey script that will add a box like what you described.
Oh, you mean (example):

https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&s=smwmusic&u=0&n=2&o=date&d=desc

https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewforum&f=6&page=2&sort=date&order=desc

Yes, exactly.

        var parent = navImg[i].parentNode;
        if (parent.tagName === "A") {parent = parent.parentNode;}
        parent.appendChild(form);
    }
}


The only downside is that it only renders when EVERYTHING else on the page has already loaded, including images.

If anything else is broken with this script, please let me know.

Well, that didn't worked, (I pasted the whole code and replaced the entire box in tampermonkey script editor with that code, it shows a yellow triangle with a ! symbol on line 19).

Thanks for trying. Smwc should've stickied a thread for a list of scripts.

I just realized you wanted one for all instances of forums and sections. I, for whatever dumb reason, thought you wanted it just for threads. Welp.

That single yellow warning saying "Script URL." is normal, just ignore it.

The first code suddenly started working on the forums only (nevermind of my previous code saying not working), as for the second one, also worked for all places.

Thanks!
