Have you considered putting pagination links at the top of the threads as well?
- dang 6y agoIt's a good idea, but the plan is to improve performance so we can go back to not paginating at all. HN traditionally just served up large threads the same way as small ones. That seems much better, and I fear making the current workaround too 'nice' since then we might never fix the issue properly.
- abtinf 6y agoWith respect, if you need pain to justify fixing the issue, why not just shut off pagination? This middle-state is frustrating even for me as a long-time user who knows about the more button.
- dang 6y agoBelieve me, that middle-state would be even more frustrating. The challenge is finding time to work on the code.
- sah2ed 6y agoI agree wholeheartedly with @abtinf that don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Of course you've said a proper solution is being designed, but in the interim, it's a bit masochistic for us to have to scroll to the bottom of the page just to click through to the next page when the "More" hyperlink could also be added to the top of the page. FWIW, I've suggested this change before [0], but nonetheless thanks for all you do. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23202515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23202515
