Browsing 101

[AndyF]

Am I missing something? I am trying to read all of the posts on 101 and I'm currently in the 'Got Questions' section. Given that there are 51 pages in here I can't read them all at one sitting, so I have to keep coming back. Now, I have to start at page 4 and keep clicking 'next page' until I reach where I left off! Is there a 'go to page' option somewhere I've missed?

Not that I know of, but you could try the following in your browser address window

for page 2
viewforum.php?f=8&topicdays=0&start=50

for page 3
viewforum.php?f=8&topicdays=0&start=100

for page 4
viewforum.php?f=8&topicdays=0&start=150

and increase the start= by +50 for each page increment

I have had the same problem while viewing old posts on multiple pages. So next time you decide to log off lp101 remember the start= number. When you log back on select the the topic you were looking at and add &topicdays=0&start= plus the number you logged off at, into your browser address window. Hey presto back to the page you were viewing.

Thanks for the tip! I will try this the next time I log in for some light reading! Bloomin' site is way too big to read at one go!

Very big. I have been reading old post for the last 6 months on and off and I am still probably only 70% through.

Just goes to show how much patience the 'old un's' here have got though doesn't it? As far back as I've got, they have had to repeat themselves to the numpty's that can't be bothered to search for something that has been answered half a gazzilion times :roll:
I think I would have run out of pateince by now and would be telling them to frell off! :lol:

AndyF, You are the bright light at the end of the tunnel we all love to see! Enjoy the read. There is a lot of info still out there.

also, when looking for speific posts, try using google's site: command

for example, if you were looking on an article for mushroom pins, you could type:

"mushroom pins" site:lockpicking101.com

this will search only lp101, and return your query. this often works better for me than the search button for specific, or obscure topics.
