I just like to say the who ever made the links in the fourm  redirect of to other sites is a dope

I see some things in this new fourm thats just dumb '

and that link at the end of the page numbers that goes to the last page and not the NEXT page

get the gun

its just stupid to redirect us off of the trains site when we click a link

man is is asinine

maby theres a rational explanation for some of the silliest componets of this website but I cant think of any

 

letss getttt readyyyy to rumble.................

There are two ways to express your concerns on the forum. First, you can email Bergie, as you are supposed to do, and explain your discontent.
The 2nd method, is to cut loose on the open forum.

Now, place yourself for a moment in the shoes of the software engineers/techs, trying to make this site more efficient and user friendly.
Do you think you would be more likely to respond in a positive way to the first method, or the second?

Finally, anyone who has ever written a large, extremely complex software program, knows full well that there will be errors, and problems to work out. I have written such programs to control lasers. It is not easy! So unless you have a degree in computer science, and can do a better job, I suggest you email Bergie, outlining your concerns.

But cuttin loose on the open forum is much more fun.

thank you mr gray

I was hoping we will get some feed back and maby some cool ideas

but I see your point if you want somthing done right

I just never seen a link to last and with all the other websites that give you a click to the Next page its just annoying I too think that if we all vote on that button 100% will go for next not last

cant see why thats there who wants to go back to 1999 (or what ever )

still its I nice place to visit

I'm not sure of what you're talking about. Perhaps this will help:

Click on the single > at the end of the Arabic numerals and you will go to the next Page.

Click on th double >> after the word "Last" and you will be taken to the last page.

I hope this is the answer you're looking for.

Budliner;

Your page numbers at the bottom of the page looks something like this:

top line: 1 2 3 4
next line: 5 > _ last

do you see that little ">" between the 5 and the "Last"??? That's "next page"!!!!

Geek is chic these days.  Try this link, or any link, but hold down the SHIFT key when you do it.  Presto, you will open up in a new window.  So, you can have it either way you want it.

Try www.dilbert.com to see what life in the cubes is really like for us professional geeks...

Budliner,

Actually, that specific issue was on the old forum, as well.  I would agree though that a next page link would be more beneficial than last page...
