Would love to know that,gave up trying years ago! If you're thick then there's definately more than one of us.

as im interasted in doing most of the work on my noble would like to go through forum to get info on car,im sure theres loads of useful info in there .Just find it hard to believe you cant do that.

guess i,m in the thick club as well as i have no idea either !!! i,m so sad i have actualy been back through over 300 pages !!!

[hoyin]

yes you can ...

I just figured it out.

Basically there are 20 posts per page, so the URL gives you this:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...

(20 x 100)-20 = 1980

If you want page say 50

(20 x 50) -20 = 980 which would be:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...

Or, just type the page number into the page number box

It's not obvious at first, but you can type into the box top right....

Arh,you beat me to it.

Change that 20 near the end to another number like said above so 100 will be 5 pages in

After typing the page into the box ( I assume the one that's indicating the page you're on)then what, as nowt's happening for me?!

This is only in a thread, not in forum remember. Try it in the spotted thread.

Oh cool didn't know you could do that. But it only works in the threads and not main forum.

In my scenario you need to change the number shown in the url below as "1980"

h**p://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&f=26&i=1980&mid=35907

To the page you want i.e. page 10 then multiply it by 20 then minus 20.

(10x20)-20 = 180

So it would be:

h**p://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&f=26&i=180&mid=35907

Obviously you need to change the ** into tt so it is http:// (otherwise in my post it shows as a link and you cannot see what I trying to show you.

I'll answer as much as I can remember!
I know the guy after me did a huge amount of work too though.
