Navigating the forum?

Kelly Thorson · Post by **Kelly Thorson** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 6:12 pm

I've been spending free time reading the past posts on this forum, but because I'm doing it mostly in evenings, I'm on dial up at home and it takes a long time to wait for each page to load so that I can click on the next one in order to get to the middle pages. Is there some way of going directly to a page number if it isn't one of the ones "clickable"?

Hi Kelly,

Dial up, free time?

When you are in this format: viewforum.php?f=2 look in the upper right corner and you will see the first few pages, some periods, then NEXT. So you have a choice, but if your looking for a specific subject, the search tab at the top is the best way to navigate.

Mike made a post earlier in response to a question about materials. Out of curiosity, in my 'free time' on

Thanks Danny,
But...I have been using the page menu at the top. The problem is that in order to access, say page 17, I have to click on 3 and then wait for it to load and then click on Next 14 more times waiting for each page to load which is very time consuming at 26 Kbps. I just wondered if there was a way to go directly to that page? I guess I need to bookmark where I leave off and then click Next I'm working my way chronologically through all the posts....albeit backwards.....I'd hate to miss anything because I don't know what term to search for.

Nope, not that I know of. You can type in page 17 in the search, but wether or not it's actually page 17 or not, I don't know, I don't believe it is.

To bookmark it as you suggested is probably the best way.

Ouch. I just saw the 26 kbps. That would be a wait. Like click on the page, go boil some water, make the coffee and wait a little more.

Kelly,
Click on any of the 1,2,3....24,25,26 pages.
Then look at the URL address at the top of the page.

You will see something like 0&start=1346

To get to the middle pages quickly, delete the 1346 number at the end and enter 888 or 999 or any similar number. I believe that will take you to some of the middle pages and once you figure out where you are, you can just adjust that number up or down on any new page reload.

Currently, #777 will take you to 15,16,17 out of 26 pages.

viewforum.php?f=2&topicdays=0&start=777

Thanks Mike, that will make life easier, now why didn't I think of that!
