Say one has been browsing through a sub forum looking for threads of interest and you decide to call a temporary halt at page 100.

When you come back the next day is there a way to jump directly to page 100 and continue from there.

I know how to jump to a page within an individual thread but not at forum level.

Of course I should have bookmarked a thread on the relevant page before packing up but thought there may be a clever way through the address bar.

There isn't a nice way to do it I'm afraid (in terms of click a page button and go there).. but!

Note the i=0 section in this link
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...
Sub Forum Pages are 20 threads long, therefore
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...
takes you to the 2nd page of WF
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...
takes you to the 3rd page of WF..
etc...

Or you could click the box with the page number in, and insert the number of the page you want. wink

Someone asked about clicking on the page number and now that has disappeared so presumably they tried it. It doesn't work at least on mobile. Page 100 of 800 is all just text not clickable.

However through dicking about have found a solution.

In the page address there is a bit which goes i=*** where the * are numbers. Noticed it went up with each page looked how many threads to a page, edited it to i=2000 enter and page 101

woohoo

That works within a thread, but not within a sub forum.
