Picayune pony, please: On tag pages, the navigation is just older/newer. Would it be possible to change that so that it's paged, allowing me to go all the way back on some tags with one click instead of 30?
A quick way to get to a specific page of tags is by editing the URL - simply change the page number at the end to whatever you want:

I've done this, but having an "oldest" link would be easiest.

"That sort of thing? Or paginated so you could go to page 6 of the pony tag immediately?"
Paginated would be best. I had to do the URL editing to reach the end of the "game" tag, and then it was still guess and check on which page was the end end.
But it seemed a pretty easy fix, given that it's already paginated in the URLs themselves.

But you don't want to go to page 8, you want to go to the oldest page, yes?

I like how it's done on the user activity pages (metafilter.com/activity/[USER#])—
Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 56
*click* '8'
Page: 1 ... 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 56
*click* '56'
Page: 1 ... 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
etc.

Oh, but it should be at the top of the page as well as at the bottom. Pork barrel pony!

Yeah, I can put this on our to do list. I'm not sold on putting the page numbers on the top of the page. I think when you're focused on the fastest way to get to the last page it seems like it'd be good to have it at the top of the page. For most uses of the page I think they would be in the way. You want to start reading posts, not think about navigating posts.
