Hi !!

It probably is something that has been requested plenty of times, I couldn't find anything recent in here suggesting it.

I'm creating myself a huge list right now, and I often have to browse through pages to make some edits or move rankings (feature that I love!!) ... how about having buttons with the page number at the bottom instead of clicking the «next« button, until I can reach page 37? This is quite tedious. I could do it with the URL directly, but having page numbers would be more user-friendly.

Thanks :))

Hi Abalister,

Allowing a user to directly go to a specific page in a list would be very useful. The IMDb message boards already have this feature. Until IMDb decides to implement this feature, here is a work around that may work for you. This is an example from a list I created almost three years ago.

Many Degrees of Kevin Bacon - Films with Most Votes (Actors)
http://www.imdb.com/list/ls006743621/

Page:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59

5860

This a segment of the code.

In your case, substitute the ID for your list in place of xuSrjxV6Y2o.

Good work! It looks like TCM has still not acted on the many suggestions for better navigation buttons on lists with multiple pages. While your work is certainly commendable I have multiple lists (over 100) which in itself is always growing and would find it a hardship to perform this task each time. Still looking for TCM to update their lists with easier button navigation possibilities.
