Hi Doug and Brad. Is there a simpler way that can be done to access specific pages on the forum? For example a small box where one can type the page number and it jumps to it? The current method on the top right hand corner seems a little long winded.I am hoping to look back on previous posts/pages from before I signed up.If there is an easier way that I have overlooked, my apologies.

Melvin,

Aside from a search for a specific topic, the only way to go back is to click on the page link that you described:

 -

The last page link you click on will load and automatically add the three previous pages to the link.

 -

If you are going further back, you can get around a bit quicker by clicking on the three dots. This will split the difference in the gap:

 -

 -

As far as I know there is no way to type in page "33" and be taken to that page.

The oldest page (currently 424) takes us back thirteen years!

Doug

Open up a topic in a new tab or window, and you will see a different url that can be modified with the page number. For example:

http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000079;p=15

Modify p=15 to the page number you want and voila -- u go to that page.
