Could you give the next/previous buttons a 'disabled' style when they are not enabled?
On my iPhone I keep tapping the screen and wondering why it isn't doing anything.

I don't know about disabling, however I wold like to see the next/previous buttons switched. Meaning the NEXT button would disabled when the default (last) page is showing. And likewise the PREVIOUS button would disabled on the very first page (Page #1).

This should be pretty easy to accomplish. We can just make the text a light gray instead of black-ish.
Look what I've still got in my copy/paste buffer:
.pagination span.label { border: 1px solid darkgray; padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; margin-left: 3px; text-decoration: none; background-color: #eaeada; color: #999; /* "disabled" text */ }

I had just uploaded a style change when you gave your idea. I made the background color a bit darker. What do you think of it?

Hm, really? It only affects buttons that are disabled. My idea was the same as yours, except I also changed the background color of the button in addition to the text color.
If you are on the first page, the "First" and "Prev" buttons should be a disabled color. Maybe you need a Control-Refresh or something to get the new stylesheet?

Yeah, that was it. I closed my browser and saw the changes when I came back. Looks good!

What I'm taking about here is this dosen't make much sense to me.
When one first logs into EUforum, they see page 1 of 3730; next and previous buttons.
I say this should be 3730 of 3730. With the last page(3730) on top (default).
When one hits the PREVIOUS button he/she should go to page 3729 the previous page.
And if they are on that page and hit the NEXT button, they should go to page 3730.
Page 1 would be the first page ever created.
This makes a lot more sense to me.
They way it is now if you want to go back a page you hit NEXT huh???
And if you want to go up to the next page you hit PREVIOUS (What???).

I can change it. I guess it depends on how you read your email. New messages for me are always at the top, I have to scroll down to get to the old stuff.

I think they should be named Later and Earlier
- Later would take you to the message posted after the current one.
- Earlier would take you to the message posted before the current one.

It's not a message it's a page full of messages that you are leafing through.

After thinking things over and using Derek's plan.
A simple solution would be to rename the [Next] button to Earlier.
And the name of the [Previous] button should be changed to Later.
Good idea Derek.

The problem with the "pages" is that Page 1 is alway changing. Page 1's content is always changing; it's never the same page. That doesn't make sense.
The latest messages should be on the highest numbered page. Then "Previous" and "Next" makes sense.
This is all I have to say.

I think it just depends on how you are use to reading your email. I am going to change the way it works though in the next few days.

Maybe the [Prev] button can read [Newer] and [Next] can read [Older]?

I just had an epiphany, uh, is there an epiphany icon?
Just drop the language labels completely and keep or enlarge the <== and ==> arrow icons.

Could you use a miniflourescent or LED "bulb", as the incandescent is being outlawed in some places, and may not be a recognised item in the future?
