Goto Page...

Post by Wandering Willy » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:30 pm

Is there a way to go to a specific page when looking through past articles?

For example, in the bottom right of a section it may say "Goto page ..1,2,3.....144,145,146 last". If I wanted to go to page 56 would I have to jump 3 pages at a time (click 3, then 6 etc) until I got there, or is there a quicker way?

I'm a bit of a knownowt re these things so there may be an obvious answer.

Thanks.

Each thread is broken up in to 20 posts per page, and if you go beyond page 1 you'll see that the url will end with start=xxx where xxx is a number.

The start number is the number of postsyou are starting to look from. So page one starts from 0 by default, page 2 start from 20, 3 from 40 etc etc.

So for example, the The official Bolton Stream/Radio link thread. has 50 pages, if you wanted page 20, it's:

(20 * 20) - 20 = 380
http://www.the-wanderer.co.uk/boards/vi ... &start=380

So you can get to a page by doing a bit of quick maths.

I do it the maths way, although Carol, I do it a slightly different way, and I think mine's more simplified so ner. :D

20 (Page you want - 1)

Thanks for the replies.

If I wanted to go through topics (instead of a particular thread) am I correct in saying that these jump in increments of 50?

I am determined to work this out now Zulu :wink:

Yeah they are in increments of 50, so just do the same but with 50.

fckg hell, Keveh.

I imagine that this is meant to make sense.

I have absolutely no idea what it says ... really.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
"I understand you are a very good footballer" ... "I try".
