Suggestion for Improved Thread Navigation

[jjshabado]

I usually read everything in the flat format because I can do it faster and easier. Sometimes though I get a post that doesn't make sense without knowing the previous post that it references. In these cases I have to switch to threaded, locate the post, and navigate through the thread.

Would it be possible to add two links to a post. Previous Post and Next Post (better named). In threaded format they bring you to the previous/next post in that thread and are disabled if there are no previous/next posts. In flat format they take you to the previous/next post and also change to threaded mode, again they are disabled if there are no previous/next posts.

I just thought of this, and am making it quite clear that I didn't put any effort into searching if this has been discussed or if this is practical with the forum software you are using. But it would be a kickass improvement (one worth sending me a hat/shirt for I believe [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])
