ASK A QUESTION Is it possible to expand the page numbers selection at the bottom of the "users" section to include all the pages at the same time? This would make navigating the users section much easier and faster.

The users page presently offers a choice of only a few pages at a time to navigate the section. If all the numbers of pages were displayed at the same time, you could navigate through the pages much faster. It would also be very impressive to see how many pages of users there are if all the numbers of the pages are displayed at the same time.

But then it takes quite some extra time to get to page 8 because you can only go three pages at a time.

There is a workaround for this if you really feel that it is important, but I would suggest just using the search engine is you know the person's userid.

We used to have the same problem with the vocabulary lists. Before they were streamlined there used to be over 100 pages of lists. To get to page 80 by expanding page tabs took forever.

To get around the problem you could look in the navigation bar of your browser. The last portion of the URL was the page number. If you wanted to go to page 80 all you had to do was go to any page, and then change the URL so that it read page 80.

You can do the same thing here. THe URL of Page 2 of the Users is:

http://www.spanishdict.com/users/browse/reputation/30

Page 3 is: ..../60

page 4 is ..../90 (30 entries per page.)

So if I wanted to go to page 40, it would be ...(40-1)x30=/1170 [if there are 40 pages of users].

Not a solution, but it may help you if you know which page of the Users that you want to go to.

qfreed. Thank you for that very insightful answer. Based on your calculation I ran the numbers and discovered that as of 1900 hours (7pm) Eastern Standard Time (in the United States) there are 4920 pages for a total of 147,600 users. I am impressed!!

I have noticed that as well. It only shows three at a time. But then it takes quite some extra time to get to page 8 because you can only go three pages at a time.

  • The vocabulary lists, and other pages work the same way. Software feature. - - qfreed Nov 23, 2009 flag
