This is a three-quarters-serious question.

When one has two hands busy (such as when eating a sloppy fried-egg sandwich) there's no easy way to browse the forums. Short of being a clever-dick.

Can there be a steady page-down scroll function that slowly rolls the thread?

At 80 posts per page, I could manage the necessary sarnie-juggling every 3 minutes to swap pages on my own. smile

click the scroll wheel on your mouse in, and the cursor should change, problem solved!

Pressing space bar will scroll down an internet page manually too, easy to press with your elbow whilst eating a sandwich smile

This is distinctly inadvisable when magma-hot yoketchup is ready to infuse itself into one's keyboard as soon as perpendicularity offers it the chance.

I've been eating fried-egg sandwiches for many years now, and some things are only learned with experience. And then more experience.

Anyway, problem solved with the mouse trick. Love it when a plan comes together.
