Suggestion: Shrink bottom of pages (eg. Users Viewing Thread)

[exceladdict]

Hi, a suggestion that might bring a quality of life improvement to some users. When viewing threads, particularly ones I visit often, I'm normally wanting to jump right to the latest post. As such, I'll navigate to the last page then scroll to the bottom of the page.

However, in popular threads (on a 1920*1080 screen) I then have to scroll back up, 2.5 screens of scrolling, to get to the last post - due to a very large 'users who read' section, plus the 5 suggested threads.

Example here:


A compressed footer - with only 3 suggested threads and one line of users who have viewed the thread - could look like this:

I shall look into the feasibility of implementing such a change.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I used to do that as well but noticed that there is (already) a functionality that will take me directly to the last unread post just by clicking on the link to a previously read thread?

Good point. It looks like in my 'unread' threads I've developed a habit of clicking the last page rather than the thread title, which does take me to last (I believe the earliest unread) comment directly.

I can change my behaviour but if the trimming does help save a bit of scrolling it could be convenient.
