Title: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: Trippy on January 20, 2007, 04:40:37 AM Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? They are messing up Google and I wanted to get rid of them.

Back in 95 or 96 the damned things were everywhere, now they are mostly extinct, farewell to an era.

Then again, at this point my post is essentially postcount++, but I can live with that. Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: schild on January 20, 2007, 04:48:14 PM Wow, even I just noticeed them for the first time. Dump them!
Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Quinton on January 20, 2007, 04:52:18 PM I accidentally used them a couple times when I thought they might be prev/next page within a single thread.
Worthless. -Q Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Yegolev on January 20, 2007, 04:57:46 PM I click on them when I forget that they don't take me to the next page of the same thread. F13 is not some place you want to go to a thread you don't know anything about beforehand, so I always back up a level and look at the titles.

Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: Velorath on January 21, 2007, 10:58:31 AM The buttons are misleading. They allow you to click on them, even if there are no other pages. :hello_kitty:

Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Signe on January 21, 2007, 12:36:58 PM Make them go away soon. I can't stop looking at them now. :|
Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: eldaec on January 21, 2007, 03:20:21 PM Wow, turns out they don't even do what I thought they did.
Now they seem faintly sinister. Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Jayce on January 21, 2007, 03:52:04 PM No wait! I used them!
Just kidding. Like everyone else I either misused them or found out that I didn't care a bout the next thread. Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: Azazel on January 21, 2007, 04:43:03 PM Never noticed them before. I use the page numbers.
Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Miasma on January 21, 2007, 06:19:00 PM You should leave them in just to spite Google. All their hundreds of PhD's flailing about, stumped by two little words on a web page, I like it.

All their hundreds of PhD's flailing about, stumped by two little words on a web page, I like it. No, it's not their fault, they are finding those links just fine and in fact are using them as the links in their index and that's the problem. Where those links take you vary over time depending on factors I haven't bothered to figure out. It's like hitting the "New" button. Where it takes you changes depending on who you are and what you've done in the past. There are other links like those two that are screwing up Google as well like posts indexed via the "View the most recent posts on the forum" link but those will take more work to fix since I can't just remove them (well I could but that would probably annoy a lot of Guests).Edit: typos Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: Trippy on January 21, 2007, 09:03:40 PM I nuked the links. Hopefully Google will reindex things properly now.
Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic p Post by: Signe on January 21, 2007, 09:28:27 PM I miss them already. :cry: Why does everything have to change?
Title: Re: Does anybody use the previous and next buttons at the bottom of each topic page? Post by: eldaec on January 22, 2007, 05:44:39 AM I nuked the links. Hopefully Google will reindex things properly now. They're still there. THEY WON'T DIE. WHY WON'T THEY DIE?!
