Skipping many pages ahead in a long topic.

Postby Jephed » Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:44 am

Hello everyone. I'm new to participating in forums and I have a question. How can you skip many pages ahead in a particularly long topic like "Thrifty Alternatives" for example? I hope it's not something too obvious. I was planning on revealing my ignorance slowly over time. :)

The top right corner of any topic page, just above the first post on the page, has a "page x of xx " and then some page numbers. Ypu can jump ahead 5 pages at a time, or jump right to the end. The same "page x of xx " appears at the bottom right corner of the pages as well.

Yes, sort of. Pagination is a PIA on all forum platforms.

This forum is configured to display 15 posts per page. So if you want to skip to page 10 of a thread, append &start=150 to the thread's URL. Example: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=26988&start=150

De nada. Glad I could assist. ... actually post 150 starts the 11th page since the OP doesn't count.
