I don't know if this forum has this but i would like to see if you could make it easier to look at some of the old posts. The old posts are like lessons in themselves, and i was wondering if you could put like a "skip 10" button so you could maneuver through the old posts easier.

Right off the bat, the pages at the bottom are labeled 1, 2, 3, ... 14, 15, 16, so, right there, you can skip ten and..... (a little tip) if you click on the second page, it says "50" at the end in the address bar...... if you want to go to page 5, just punch in "200". It goes in increments of 50.

WOW! I didn't realize they stored that many pages! :shock: Anyway, I figured the Opinions forum had a lot so I checked that one.

Well, if you are just browsing, use the tip I gave you. That way, you can go to any page you want.

Have a good one!

If you look at the address line at the top of the page, you'll see something like this:

https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4037

If you click on there, you'll be taken to the start of that thread and shown the first 15 posts. Go to page 3 and you'll see this:

https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4037&start=45

Do you notice the difference? It adds "&start=45" to the end of the address. I said that it was page 3 and there are 15 posts per page, so 3 x 15 = 45, the same as the "&start" parameter. To skip to page 25, just multiply 25 by 15 and change the line to read:

http://forums.guitarnoise.com/viewtopic.php?t=4037&start=375 - I haven't made it a hyperlink, because this thread doesn't have 25 pages, but you get the idea.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

They mean for you to not look at the page links but rather to go up to your address bar (above the actual page) and make the changes to the end numbers there. You can skip 50 pages if you want to! :D
