last post repeated at top of multipage threads?

It would be nice to see the last post at the top of a multipage thread so we knew what was being said wouldn't it? In phpBB I think there was an addon for that. Anyone fancy a go?

The last post?
Wouldn't that make reading the topic all confusing?
I mean you have a post that comes from the very end of the topic way back to... maybe at the top of the second page. I would find it terribly weird... xD

I used that plugin all the time on my old forum at user's request. Some threads were several pages long so a repeat of the previous page's last post - clearly marked showing it was just a reminder worked well. It seems eminently sensible to me and shouldn't be hard to implement. ;D

Even first post on top of multiple page has no addon yet here. :P I love to see both though...

Ahh.. the previous page last post could do, from your original request I understood the last post of the topic. ;)

Sorry for not being clear. So is it possible for some kind person to knock up an addon? If so I take back my rant about developers in another post! ;D  ;D  ;D

It could be possible, but mess with the pagination is one of the most annoying things of all... :-\

 More than attachments?

Attachments are just a mess. xD
Pagination is annoying because there are quite a bit of safeguards to ensure the topics behave all the same way.
Actually, this may be either very easy (i.e. add a -1 somewhere) or very tricky. I'm not sure.
