Title: Accessing Page by Number in Forum(s)
Post by: w4bfs on May 03, 2008, 01:26:00 PM
Is there a way to navigate to a page directly rather than page by page in succession (ie - page 40 out of 84)?

I looked at the "Set Search Parameters" and there is no GO TO PAGE #. However in a particular forum, you can sort by subject, # of views, # of postings, last posting, oldest first, started by. You can also go to a particular forum and search for a word string (813, dipole, fire, etc.) or you can go to the main forum page and search the entire forum for a particular word string.

I'll assume you were reading the entire Technical forum starting at page 1 and got to page 40 and had to break away and now want to continue. The trick here would have been to bookmark the page where you ended so that you could come back to it later. Depending upon the interval of time, it should get you close.

Of course, there might be some non obvious keyboard/mouse trick to do what you want to do.
