Is there any way we can get page numbers on the top and bottom of a page?

I like this idea.

or can it open to the most recent post ?

Would love this feature!

Yes!!

If you click on the green button in the forum it will take you to the first unread post.

I'll make a note to add pagination to the top as well.

I agree with reformatting posts. I'd prefer new at the top of the first page.

Try that on for size.
