If you filter out the E rated threads, then the page counter doesn't update:
If there are no A rated threads then this becomes even more obvious with there being a blank table and only the page numbers remaining. I'm guessing the filtering is done client-side rather than server-side for the time being? Since it seems like it's fetching all the entries and just hiding the ones that don't match the filters.
Yeah at the moment it's filtering the incoming results for the page. Filtering + pagination creates headaches but might get worked out, it has been tempting to replace pagination with infinite scroll combined with a custom date range filter at the top. I actually think scrolling and having more threads pop in might be pretty decent... We'd have to figure out what to do with the "In this forum" stat stuff that appears at the bottom of the page, though.
You know, there was something that I had in mind about the forum topics and searching for them by using the forums page (something like Gimmick demonstrated per say). I know that my reply has nothing to do with this subject in mind.
Would it be nice to, let's just say, you want to look for a specific thread (say from 3 years ago for an example), but you don't want to take an hour or two just to search for it by clicking on the pages, and still didn't find that specific thread after going through a lot of the pages.
It would be nice to have the option to narrow or hide the other threads, other than using the current rating system, perhaps hiding the original posters (that started the threads and not block them per say), adjusting the date (for when the threads were made, perhaps with multiple options) to know on what I'm looking for. I don't like using the general search function that much (that you can search for more than the threads and mostly the forum posts).
Like would this idea be implanted in the future or that's wishful thinking?
If you have any questions or concerns about this idea, let me know.
