[Feature Request] Option to move page selection to top of post listing

This can be done for pool navigation, so why not for page navigation too?
Ideally I'd like another setting to display these things in both locations.

Posts are sorted according to the time and date of upload. I don't really see the point of changing that. Anything meant to be viewed in sequential order should be in a pool anyway.

What do you mean exactly? Are you talking about moving the page numbers to the top of the page like this: https://i.imgur.com/DMwum7S.jpg?

Yes, exactly like that.

So, how did you do that? Did you just edit a screenshot or actually move it somehow? If the latter I'd like to know how as I fully expect this request to go ignored.

You can use this custom CSS (put it in your settings->advanced settings->custom CSS styles):

#posts {position: relative;}
#posts>div:first-child {top: 5em; position: relative; margin-bottom: 5em;}
#posts>.paginator {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%);}

@Nell: I made a userscript to test the idea out. Install Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey and paste the following into a new script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Paginator on Top
// @version      0.1
// @author       evazion
// @match        *://danbooru.donmai.us/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

if ($("#c-posts #a-index").length) {
    /* Add a second paginator above the post gallery. */
    $(".paginator").clone().appendTo($("#post-sections"));

    /* Center the paginator. */
    $(".paginator").first().css({
        "font-size": "87.5%",
        display: "inline-block",
        margin: "0 auto",
        padding: "0",
    });

    $("#post-sections").css({
        display: "flex",
    });
}

SD-DAken's CSS works too. The difference is this userscript keeps the paginator on the bottom too.

Anyway, I do think this is an improvement. It lets you immediately see how many results a search has, which is a very common need. Also it makes browsing with 100 posts per page easier since you don't have to always scroll down to get to the paginator.

Honestly I think this should be the default. It's just that changing things like this can be a hard sell, since people are very used to the way the site works. I know if this were added then people would complain about it and want it optional, which I hate doing because trivial things like "where does the paginator go?" should be something you don't even need to think about.
