Page numbers for Private Messages (inbox)

Since the first time i joined my opera community, i like to send PMs to all my friends. I have saved all of them until now.
My inbox contains thousands of messages and the problem is, if I want to read one of them, I have to open the inbox, scroll to the bottom and use 'next' link, this takes a lot of time.
So could Opera add page numbers at the top or bottom to use as links to pages of messages to make it easier?

Page numbers for Private Messages (PM). What do you think?

I don't have several pages of messages to test, but I suspect you can work out the direct URL to page n for yourself. It is probably similar to the URL to the nth page of posts in this forum:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=35&days=&abc=&page=2&skip=50&show=&perscreen=50

Failing that, just bookmark each page and edit each bookmark's properties to give it an appropriate name, e.g. Inbox April 2009, etc.

Wow, an ordinary internet user should code its own URL to read it's inbox - funny idea ?! confused

One should not assume that the OP is clueless. This is an unusual request, and even if it is added to the list of things to improve, it could be a long time before it gets implemented.

A savvy internet user can edit the URL to get page n, while a less experienced user can just bookmark each page — a one time operation that will save time later (assuming that it works as I hope that it will).

Thanks for the idea Pesala. For now, it's probably the best idea. Unfortunately, I use a cell to online, so it will be very difficult for me to implement it. sad
Hopefully, Opera will realize it later. smile

i think this is a very good idea, we have page numbers on our blog comments, so why not in our inbox, i would also like to see folders, so i can arrange message into a folder for each person, my friends post me links,and pictures to my inbox, but it takes forever to find them, page numbers would help a lot to cut down the time scrolling, thank you sis, xxx
i copy and paste messages onto private blogs to help me find them, but for a cell user that would be very hard, and it still involves a lot of scrolling once i have 30 blogs and 100 messages in each blog, ha ha

Thank you for the feature request. I've filed a feature enhancement suggestion for this. :-)
