Is it possible to jump directly to a specific page in a thread? Is quite time consuming to keep hitting "Next" or "Previous".

As someone who has plowed through 30 page threads, I would like to know the answer to this, too.

Hi, the trick is to look for the word Start in the URL and change the number there.

http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... c&start=23

It seems that the number indicates how many posts "into the thread" you want to start displaying at. So 23 is 23 posts in, or about page 2. Not really ideal, but beats plowing.

Hope that helps. :D
