Can forum menus display more recent pages? e.g. (Pages: 1 2 3 4 ... 16 17 18 19 )

Total forum minutiae, but as you know we've got a lot of megathreads. At the moment, the forum menus only link to the first 5 pages and the current page. For example (Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 ... 19 ) Would it be possible to put a few more recent 'page' links in the forum menus? E.g. (Pages: 1 2 3 4 ... 16 17 18 19 ) or something like that? It would make it easier to find, say, last week's posts, for those who aren't logged in.

Some examples of the current look in menus:

Outside of the thread, it displays the first five and then the last page, inside, it's the first and then the last six (depending on thread size of course). When clicking back in larger threads, (the mega threads), you end up with the first and last page at each end, and the middle section displays seven pages. I would say that's quite a good mix of options and fairly easy to navigate, whether logged in or not. Adding more pages outside would make some threads too long.

You can manually change the page number in the address bar to jump into the middle of a large thread, far quicker than clicking a few pages at a time. The page number doesn't show on the first or last page though, so you need to move back or forward one page first.
