How Do I

"it simply isn't there, and doesn't come up when I click on a page number"


Only works if you click on the green number, not on a page number.

(just found out, didn't know it was possible)

It needs to be a thread with more than one page to get more than a simple reload.

True, but this limitation wouldn't apply in ordinary use. In a one-page thread no one would need to go to another page.

In an earlier post, Tom did say nothing happens when he clicks on the green one. It's a mystery. Pekka has been careful about designing the software to fit all browsers.

Thank you - that worked!

Of course I never saw it before ..... the green number is the page that one is currently on. . If I am already on a page, then why would I ever click that same page, to go to the page I'm already on? . I would never click on the page I'm already on, because I am already there! . LOL

So of course I never saw it before. . It seems a bit unusual that you would only be given the "jump to" option after clicking on something that you would never think of clicking on. . That seems counter-intuitive . But thank you for pointing it out ..... now that I know about it, I will use it.

The thread needs a minimum of SIX pages for the little box to appear. Think about it.

Thanks for making that observation, John.

It makes sense, because with less than 6 pages, the number for every page in the thread will be right there on the screen, hence no need for a "jump to" box.

That also explains why I didn't get the box to pop up when I clicked on the green box earlier ..... I must have done so in a thread with less than 6 pages.

I was going to reply(no time earlier): Should have read the earlier posts more carefully, sorry. But I don't think it's necessary now.

Thank you!!

I hope in my OLD age I can figure out what the obvious thing is!! LOL

You'll be getting us oldies a bad reputation Charles!

I have been out of town since Friday the 24th and missed all this chatter!

I thought oldies always had a bad reputation!

Thanks to you both. I didn't know that either Charles. Saves a lot of clicking! The brilliance of this software and its features never cease to amaze me.

Pekka did do an amazing job with this software! I sometimes wonder what other hidden gems are in this software we do not know is there.

Well, how about we start a thread that lists these "easter eggs"?

Well another one I didn't know about till someone pointed it out was clicking in the margin to get back to the top of a page. Saves so much scrolling!

Go ahead, but stop listing them at some point before you break the server.

I think that that feature is so useful and so intuitive that I find myself doing it on all the other websites I use, too. . Of course it doesn't work there, which kinda sucks.

If there were 10,000 or 20,000 more Pekkas out there, the internet would be a better place to live.
