I see that people like this add-on and there have been many suggestions for improving it. In a few months, I will start releasing add-ons that will modernize all the legacy parts of the XF interface. And this addition will be in this pack, but in an improved form.
A lot of interesting things are waiting for you!
P.S.
Regarding the dispute about the CEO:
First, the add-on leaves the top pagination for easy navigation to farther pages.
And secondly, guys, search robots are now much smarter than it is commonly believed. And the position in the search engine now mostly depends on the content that is posted on the forum. If you have boring and non-unique content, then no amount of SEO advice will help you.
P.P.S.
WCAG is only a
guideline,
not a strict standard that you must adhere to. Your site / forum is the same creativity and we know what creativity has no restrictions. If everyone followed the standards, we would not get far and everything would be the identically.
Think less about small things in SEO, and more engaged in making a good resource by itself, then there will be no problems with SEO
