Thanx for the trick. I have always wondered how do get from page to page more quickly too. You answered my questions without me even having to ask them!

You're quite welcome. The same trick works on many websites. Even though the URL might look quite convoluted, if you start picking it apart, it gets rather simple.

Take a look at the URL in your browser (at the top of the screen). When you go to something besides the first page of a thread or the forum, you may see a number in the URL that corresponds to the page you're on. Edit that number and see what it gets you.

Last night I got up to page 29 of older topics on this site. To get back to where I was seems tedious as I can only 2 pages at a time. This discouraged me from going on.

Is there a way that I can get to page 30 without going through the previous pages at 2 at a time?


Thanks in advance.
