I think the pages would do well to have a Prev and Next button on threads with multiple pages like the Sketch Wall. The small page numbers are sometimes difficult to navigate quickly.

Also, why doesn't the CDN Website Forum page come up when I click on the link from the main Forum page? It gives me an error message.

We do have the option to display this:
Page First | Previous | Next | Last
instead of:
Page 1 2 3 4 5 6

but we haven't used, assuming people might want to see how many pages there are in a topic (and which one they are on), and possible confusion over the words... i.e. "is 'previous' the last page I was on, or is it newer topics?" (also considering an international audience).

anyone else have a preference?

Try the Forum link again, I saw an error too on first attempt, but it only happened once...

Maybe you can do something like they have at the following forum:

At the bottom of this page.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. You have the prev and next on either side of the numbers, so you have both numbers and 'quick' nav. I do understand about the international audience, tho.

We can't do that yet, but we'll put in a request to Groupee (the makers of the message board system).

Also, just on another note, i read your announcement in the annoucnement section of this forum about the new chat, and noted that at the end you made a comment to point out that nobody reallly used it. I only came across it by accident yesterday after reading this site for god-knows how long, and some of the other features in the forums section. Perhaps you should publicise it a little more. I can guarantee that most users aren't even aware of these things existing.
