Please consider a NEXT link instead of, or in addition to, the LAST link.

At the bottom of a page of BBS search results, there's a numeric link for page (e.g. 1 2 3 4 etc) and a link for LAST.

As a UI element, NEXT is more useful:
- a NEXT link means you don't need to know the current page
- a NEXT link is 4x larger than a single numeral, (easier to hit)
- a LAST link has only one destination, NEXT has many

UBB is capable of the NEXT link and most of my favorite BBS use NEXT.
