 |

| Maybe I`m an odd person wanting to go to P168 in the Go to Pages but how can I get there in reasonable time? Sure I can click next, next , next .... but this takes ages. Is there a direct route? |

| Click on page 2. Look at the URL. The number that says &start=20. Change 20 to whatever page you want (in this case, 168) multiply that by 20, then subtract 20. Or just multiply it by one less than the page you want. So change &start=20 to &start=3340 which is (168-1)/20. It's not a direct route, but it's simple enough. |

Click on the "2" of the 1,2,3 list, the look at the URL in the browser address bar. The URL will look something like this: | Code: | | http://trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57087&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 |
The "start=" at the end of the URL is what iubkud is talking about.

| OK iubkud and swthiel, got the URL you are referring to but it only shows up when the mouse pointer is held over the 2. If you click on it you end up at the address and a Done sign. If you move the pointer off the 2 to go to the Start=20 bit to change it, then immediately the URL disappears. Looks like I need some more input please. Russ |

Here's the URL in my browser (IE7) from page two of another thread in this forum:
http://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72519&start=20
The pages have 20 posts each, so to get to page e.g. 168 change that last 20 to 168*20-20 (or, 167*20 -- the page you want less one for the first page in the list) and you should be there.

They are talking about changing the number in the address bar at the top of the browser. It works the same in Firefox.
If you go into the thread from the thread title or from the home page, the URL won't have the "start=" part, so you do need to click on a page number first (either within the thread or from the index page). |

Got it. In Firefox (at least in my installation), when the mouse hovers over a link the URL for the link is displayed in a bar at the bottom of the browser frame. When you click on the link, you'll go to the linked page and the address will be displayed in the address bar at the top of the page. You should be able to change the start= number in the address bar.

Yep got it. It`s a big URL and you`ve got to move it to the left, but no probs. Thanks all. Russ  |
