Next and previous buttons for private messages 997260 The JavaScript code is designed to be compatible with all forum versions ( phpbb2, phpbb3, punbb, invision ). If you want to decide for yourself where to place the next and previous buttons, you can simply edit your privmsgs_read_body template and add the following code wherever you want :
Code:
<div id="navMP"></div>

Next and previous buttons for private messages 997260 The display of the buttons may take more or less time depending on your connection speed and configuration of the number of topics per page on your forum. The greater the number of topics per page, the less requests the script will send, as it will be slower.

You can check the total number of topics per page here :
Administration Panel > General > Messages and Emails > Configuration, find the option topics per page.

  font-size:16px;
  line-height:16px;
  color:#eee;
  background:#BDC8D0;
  text-decoration:none !important;
  border:1px solid #aaa;
