--- Comment #5 from Krinkle <krinklem...@gmail.com> ---
I agree in opposing the change in general. I think from a usability point of
view it is justified to have the pagination only on one side of the page. The
bottom in our case. I don't see why they should be on top as well.
When you're on #1, you see the top results. At that point there is no previous
page, and going straight to the next page doesn't make sense since the first
page is more likely to contain what you're looking for. By the time you have
looked through the first page, you're at the bottom and can continue to the
next page.
If you're on a later page wanting to go back, you can simply use the browser
controls to go back.
The only use case left is going to a different page that you haven't visited
before (e.g. If a user is paginating back and forth jumping from page 1 to 10
and then to 9) then you'd also look through the page first (why would you
immediately want to switch from page 10 to 9 if you just arrived on page 10,
you'd look through first..)
Marking WONTFIX as usability seems fine in this regard. And adding it would in
my opinion not only make no improvement, but actually make things worse by
cluttering the interface further and decreasing usefulness of content above the
fold.
