How to go to first page of thread

[Chestrockwell]

First and foremost, excuse me if this is a stupid question, it’s one of those things where the answer could be right in front of you and you are completely blind to it.

Sometimes when I find a thread with say...150 pages, I click on it and end up on the last visit, is there any other way other than clicking ‘previous page’ 150 times to get to the first post?

There’s a ‘330e ordered’ thread with thousands of responses and I really want to know what happened for it to have so many replies....there’s a few others but I can’t seem to get to the start!

Any help appreciated

[Chestrockwell]

I just use safari on my iPhone, I don’t use a PC or laptop

Ask the tech guys to update the glitch everyone has been moaning about for probably a year that takes you exactly to where you don’t want to be in a thread

Or

Click on 150 and change to 1


Only one of these solutions has any hope of success.

Well a small help would be to increase the number of posts in a page

Go to "my Profile"

Select preferences

increase posts per page from 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80

Table below shows the effect on a 150 page thread changing to 80 per page from 5, 10, 20 and 40 settings

Thread pages	Page view setting	Actual posts	Pages based on 80 setting
150	5	750	9
150	10	1500	19
150	20	3000	38
150	40	6000	75

If you are on 5 on a 150 page thread I've saved you 141 page clicks to get to the first page

I use firefox for IOS as I really couldn't get on with Safari so I can't help with that browser on an iphone

If you do want to try firefox you can select the page number you want to go to, tap the box with the current page number - delete the page number and 1 and then select go. It takes you right to page 1 regardless of how many pages the thread is and where last visit sent you to on a new thread you haven't viewed before.

If I could remember how to do screenshots on an iphone I'd show you how with pictures.........

No problem at all - Can you do the same in Safari then? - I've never used it on my iphone so wouldn't know - first thing I do is download firefox app
