reading all topics

[johnnywgk]

im trying to read all topics in this 's' forum. im on about page 50
of about 500.

the thing i want to know is, when i turn off pc then come back,
i cant go straight to the last page i read, and have to click next,
next, next until im up to my last page
its bad enough now, but i'll go crazy when i get to page 200.

please tell me i'm doing it wrong

Hi John

You'll drive yourself crazey reading them all - just use 'search' 'advanced search' and use the key words selecting the S forum on anything of interest - or just ask the question in the forum and someone will help/guide you. They are such a helpful bunch you wont believe it

If you want to go back to a previously viewed page use the history icon on the task bar or next to favorites. Thats if your using windows.

Don't think there is a way around your problem to be honest...however GET AMONGST IT

Make sure that the address bar is enabled in your browser, for Internet Explorer 7 it seems to be always on, with earlier versions you may have to turn it on in the view/toolbars menu. You're on your own if you use another browser! The last bit of the address for the forum page 2 will show thus:

................gassing/forum.asp?h=0&f=11&i=20&mid=57421

Note that i=20 value towards the end of the address and click the 'next' link, see how it increments by 20 for each page. Make a note of that value when you finish a session and edit the address when you start again. If you want to do it by page number (page number -1) x 20 will get you there.

Can't help thinking there should be an easier way of doing it, but I don't remember one right now. The history on my browser shows individual topics rather than forum pages.
