I recently joined this forum and I cannot figure out how to click on older, previously-posted pages.  I want to read all older postings, page by page, but I can only get onto the older pages by advancing a few pages at a time, and cannot start where I left off.  The other fig forum has a numerical page display at the bottom, and you can just select any page number that you want to view.  If I want to read page 66...how do I get there?  I used the search function, and entered the page number but that did not get the results that I wanted.
Sorry for being so computer-ignorant.

Frank I attempted to go to other pages and it appears to not work that way. You have to go page by page. Jon might know of skipping to other pages.......Good Luck!!!!

I can't guess the confusion.
If you start page by page reading near the recent pages (pages with recently updated threads), the threads order may change if a post is added to a thread .
One way to avoid this kind of confusion is to start page by page reading  from the last page (currently 211) and then the second last an so on. Threads in last pages are updated with relatively less frequency.

No Confusion,....Read carefully, he wants to read page 66...???  He wants to read the topics on the forum like a book. He wants to read a couple of pages, then wants to return to that page........Does anyone have an Idea on this....????

I too have found navigating older posts to be rather frustrating with this forum format.

Start from the back, like Akram suggested, and set a fresh bookmark every so often so you can get back easily and not have to click so many times. You are going to turn into a fig soon Frank : )

p.s. to do it manually change the thread number at the end of this address: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=&trail=5256

You can also search for topics. Upper right corner.

Thanks for all the suggestions....but, no offense...it's a ridiculous amount of work just to start off where you left off previously. 

So, if I was ambitious, and read the first/newest 24 pages, and tomorrow I want to start at page 25, and continue reading into past, older postings...I have to bookmark page 24, and then continue from that page, backwards, into the older pages? 

The "search this topic" doesn't work...it doesn't recognize a selected page number...just subject matter.  I don't want to search for a subject...just a specific page to see what the postings are all about.  How would I know what subject was on page 93, if I can't get to page 93 to see what was posted?  This is my problem.

No big deal.  Just thought I'd ask how to get to a specific page.

Thanks for the help.

Hoosier....The transformation has already started.  At times I hang too long, I'm plump, and soft in the middle....sometimes sweet, sometimes, bland and insipid...mostly "Brown-Turkey"....good, dependable, ordinary...  But, sometimes ..."Atreano"...golden, sweet, exceptional quality!  : )
