Stirring the Pot

Takethedogalong

Well no one is quite sure what the latest tinkering with website has officially done, but it seems to have re surfaced some months old threads, often locked as well. Pays to check the dates before answering....😁

Looks as though latest activity is the easiest route in just now, the discussions are out of sync.

I've found that since the reboot.

Someone mentioned on the thread that was recently locked, Bakers2 I think, that you can now access individual pages by number. Is that right as I can't find how to do it?

brue

I wasn't sure what Bakers2 meant, I can see page numbers as usual at the end of each page.

Wherenext

Yes same here Brue, unless she has a special machine.

I am not sure it's part of the usual forum function. However if you look at this link https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/welcome-hobby-talk/caravan-motorhome-chat/nhs-testtrace-on-site/?p=25 you can see the page number at the end of the link. Once that link is in your browser you can change the number. I would have thought it would only be useful if you knew which page number you were looking for? I suppose it would allow you to jump back and forth more pages than the current arrows at the bottom of the thread page allows?

Yes I did mention page numbers, no idea  which thread it was available on! I said about it on the closed planned maintenance thread. 

I've tried David's link, if it was there it isn't now..... It's not on the what are you up to thread now, but I suspect that was the one - who can say.?

It was at the bottom of the page, where you click on the arrows to change page, it had numbers faded out possibly either side of the current page number which was darker in colour, inbetween the arrows.

Oh well wasnt much to get excited about anyway, sorry to raise expectations 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wherenext

Typical tease.

In the main forum page, the "latest post" seems to have gone haywire "again". Yet more fiddling with stuff they lack the competence to understand.

Wherenext

Cheers David.

There have been a couple of occasions on threads that have spread over a large number of pages that I have wanted to check facts before posting but jumping back 2  or 3 pages at a time is a bit of a pain. Your way would allow me to choose somewhere near, say halfway etc. Might come in useful.

Individual page numbers have always been there as far as I know, at the bottom of the posts between the arrows.

Wherenext

But on a thread with many pages you can't, for example, jump from the opening page to Page 22 of a thread with 40 pages. You have to slowly creep your way upwards, to page 5 at first, or back from page 40, two by two.

So a way to get to page 22 without all of the faff would be handy.

With the amount of deletions ,warranted or not?some threads could have about a third less pages

As an alternative/ addition to page numbers - why not dates?

For example to go back 3 days might entail one page or perhaps five or more, depending upon how vociferous/acrimonious the conversation was.

Once in a thread it is possible to navigate to a specific page. The steps are as follows.

1.Navigate one page away from the page from you enter the thread.

2.Click in the address box of your browser and scroll to the end.

3. Change the page No. to the one that you require.

4. Click reload.

I'd like to be able to go to the latest unread post. You can on some websites.
