#12: Add "next/previous conversation" links
- Contents
Add UI feature to let users quickly jump to previous/next conversation.
- Proposed by
- Jon Stahl, ONE/Northwest

- Proposal type
- User interface
- State
- being-discussed
Motivation
This is a minor-but-handy UI feature that will allow frequent forum users to avoid a lot of extra mouse clicks, and encourage forum readers to explore more deeply.
Proposal
Add a simple UI element to the conversation view (at top and bottom of the page?) that will skip to the previous/next conversation (by date)
Didn't really consider paging of long threads

...but I probably should have. Maybe another PLIP is brewing here. ;-)

It seems there are plenty of precendents in Plone and some products for organizing how these are displayed (and going to the next page of posts).
Should be simple enough, but..
...don't do the faux pas that 90% of boards are guilty of, where the "Next conversation" link is placed exactly where the "Next page of the current conversation" would be located.
These are two different concepts, and have to be visually separate.
