slackjack Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I remember seeing this somewhere else- a little box popped up when the "pages" text was clicked. You simply entered the page number and you were taken to that page. Mayb something similar could be used here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan_dslasher Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 maybe the number of pages can be increased.. anyway, there's about a5-inch gap between the last page and the "mark as read" button"on the other hand, opening a few extra pages sometimes reveal topics that becomes interesting all of a sudden.. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan_dslasher Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 it seemed like muhammad is not the first to encounter the problem.. note that mixos promised to fix the problem.. (extra note: i dont have anything against mixos, i know he has a lot of things to take care of :P ehehe) http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum/index.php?topic=114.0 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Why do we need a fix for this? There are a fixed number of messages per page. In the address bar above, see where it ends with .../index.php?topic=6816.0....This means you are on the first page. For the second, it would end with ../index.php?topic=6816.14...for the third page, .../index.php?topic=6816.28...etc. Go to the first page of a long thread and try this to get you to the page you want.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan_dslasher Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi MP! ;Dthat was a nice trick! :D but the thing is... that's somewhat " 8) advanced 8) internet 8) browsing 8) skill 8)"i don't think an average user can figure it out that easily... :)>- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hopefully all can figure it out now that the instruction is out there. There are also the numbers at the top of the message boxes, but that only allows you to go back a few pages at a time.Also, when you browse around and want a quick bookmark to a thread you will want to come back to, you can just copy the info from the address bar and save it in a text file with some type of description. Much faster than a search.Have fun!MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
