I suppose the developers made some kind of research before making their choice, comparing the amount of energy spent by the users using the prev/next links and the ones using the click-back-click (IE6 philosophy) or midclick-close-midclick (decent browser philosophy), and found out that the removal of those links would have caused the ascent of entropy to decrease by at least 0.00015 microjoules/sec, so letting the universe persist for as much as 0.005 secs longer.
phpBB is entropy-friendly.

Finally something intelligent on Area51! I thank you 8)

8O You lost me after the thirteenth word. 8O

You counted that?

Let's not let it become a habit... we may lose all the visitors around here...

Thirteen? I didn't even last that long… probably after the third or fourth.

Ok, I try write more simple next time.

Code: Select all

$result = compare(user_energy(use_prevnext_links(true)),user_energy(use_prevnext_links(false)));
if ($result > 0)
{
  $keep_prevnext_links_in_prosilver = true;
}
else
{
  $keep_prevnext_links_in_prosilver = false;
}

(Yeah yeah, I know, I could write

Code: Select all

$keep_prevnext_links_in_prosilver = compare(user_energy(use_prevnext_links(true)),user_energy(use_prevnext_links(false))) > 0 ? true : false;

)

But why... would the universe last longer, when we use less energy?
I mean... either way the energy does not cease to exist. It's just somewhere else.
But you might consider this Off-Topic

Boy, we sure get into a lot of rat-holes, don't we?

[Handyman]

ok… i"M a little less tired this morning and I got through the entire thing… I understood it but I didn't.
Is it about using less server energy? by microns?
Energy is limitless/endless… if only they could figure out how to make it without polluting the daylights out of everything.

what?

I think it is about us, the users, wasting less energy on clicking.

Energy must have a limit! That limit is just not within our reach ... yet .
Humanity is considering money to be more important than our planet. And using other energy ressources would be more expensive right now.

Stupidly off-topic, but it sounds like people need to learn about entropy
