Maybe I'm weird but many times when I read a thread, especially a very busy one, I tend to read them backwards. So bottom up. When doing it this way it is very convenient to have the toggle between pages at the top. Currently it's only at the bottom. The old format had both.

Me too mate.

Wasn't sure how many would miss it/whether to just prompt users to start browsing differently, but see here;

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xf2-add-page-numbers-at-top-of-forum-in-mobile-version.148865/

The page numbers look a little clunky when I look on mobile, so I'm undecided.

Right Ive meddled with the template to bring the page nav back to the top on mobile.

Lets see how it does. Code below to revert back for my own ref;

Code: 
// Hide any block page nav that goes before the block as we will be wasting vertical space.
@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveNarrow)
{
    .block-outer:not(.block-outer--after) .pageNavWrapper:not(.pageNavWrapper--forceShow)
    {
        display: none;
    }

    // this is a sanity check in case .block-outer--after is forgotten
    .block-container + .block-outer .pageNavWrapper
    {
        display: block;
    }
}

Would it be possible to add it to the hamburger drop down menu? I am using that for new posts. I just find it a pain to read backwards then scroll back to the bottom to go to the previous page.

It's an inconvenience...and I am sure I would get over it...but as of right now it's one of the very few things I notice from a browsing experience.

Still think we have some coloration things to sort out *cough* *poll questions* *cough*...and infractions should probably be in red.

Looks fine. Does anyone actually use the 'Mark Forums Read' feature? Removing that from the top would help.
 
It’s also not possible to reject all the cookies as whole. The banner that pops up at the bottom on the iPad I have (11.4) it’s possible to accept them all but not reject.

Very happy to see this back. I prefer to have page numbers, but not as important as you can edit the url and i know what you mean about clunkiness and eating into the space.
question - can you get away with just one arrow for pre and next and drop the text "prev" and "next"? Similar to first/last...

Just noticed that earlier. Seemed a bit weird.

I used the old 'latest posts' button to do a refresh...I abused that quite a lot, it'd be nice to have it back. I get that there's a drop down selection but it's just an added step/frustration because I'm iLazy. I know that's now the 'new posts' selection, I'm just not used to inactive posts not showing up when you refresh. I'll get it over it at some point.

If I switched it back to as it was, there would be murder.

Evertonians don't like change and it's a compliment, users of GOT are very well engaged so any change is seen as significant.

Still a few bits I need to fix, but it's getting there...
