Missing HTML element link with attribute next/prev to navigate faster

[GwenDragon]

• NodeBB version: N.A.

• NodeBB git hash:

• Installed NodeBB Plugins:

• Database type:

• Database version:

• Exact steps to cause this issue:

  1. NodeBB forum does not gerate HTML element link with attribute next or prev to indicate next/previous page for fast navigation and pagination buttons do not have a text indication next, >, → to indicate next page/link
  2. So such feature can not be used in Opera 12 or Vivaldi

• What you expected:
  Forum generates links or link-text for relation navigation

• What happened instead:
  Forum does not have links for relation navigation

So are these meta tags that the browser reads? Can you link to some documentation?

[julianlam]

Can you give us an example in a Page on our forum? We should already be providing prev and next link tags for topic pages.

@julianlam Open https://forum.vivaldi.net/recent has no relation to next page.
In Vivaldi browser the next button >| in address bar should not be gray.
Logically a "next" should be created for page 2 or page 3 and so on.

PS: I could not get the NodeBB version and plugins from the site i mentioned as broken.

Seems like topic category pages already have it, just missing from /recent /popular etc.
