Thanks Paws, for mentioning the annoyance about how the first post of Discussions is always at the top of the page. I've been trying to quickly skip past them, to get to the latest post, & I know, when the initial post was a long post, like mine was, it takes up a rather large bit of screen area, & the scroll down takes more scrolling.
Sometimes, when I thought I could benefit from reading the first post, I had done, & would be happy to continue to use the page nav & go directly to the beginning of the Discussion. I do't need to seet the initail post up there either.
Except - when I'm unfamiliar with a Discussion, & the initial post provides me with more info than the title, & points to what the author of the Discussion wanted to talk about when when they created the Discussion.

I was hoping all members would have control over their own profile page. I hope, one day, that can happen. In the meantime, I would have liked to be able to simply ask for permission from members, knowing how some won't want me 'snooping'. If a member didn't reply to my question, I would assume they don't want me viewing their profile, & I won't. If they answer I could follow their wishes. Members having control, when treated with respect, & I acknowledge this way I would like to deal with this issue requires us to trust eachother as well.
The decision to restrict access may result in my not being able to relocate some Discussion I was or wanted to participate in, because I may well have forgotten the title, to enter into the Search thingy insteadd. I'll have to find the member somewhere else, in another Discussion, & cut in to try to ask them what the title of a Discussion was, or where to find. etc. That's my reason for even wanting to view someone's profile - & maybe to see if they are very new to the forums, buy noting they have not created more than their Introduction Discussion. That has verified this fact a couple times, which was very helpful to me, when it comes to replyinto their post.
