89 pages and growing... how do I get to the middle to try and find things without going page-by-page?

Thanks,
Gits

Seems like the quickest way is to make a slight amendment to the url.

For instance, the link to the first page is:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/289929.page

The second page is:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/289929.page

Third:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/289929.page

89th:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/2640/289929.page


You'll note that with every page, there's an extra number between the 'list' and '289929.page' bits of the url. That'd be the page marker (ie, the /30/, /60/, /2640/). Specific pages would be noted by that number being (Page Number - 1) * 30 (since each page displays 30 messages). Unless there's an option to set the number of posts per pages.

OK Jin, I'll have to give that a try... thanks! I love my little blog but it's becoming difficult to manage... there are lots of good ideas hopelessly lost somewhere the the abyss between pages 3 and where ever I am at the moment...

Ooops, small mistake - supposed to be (Page Number - 1) * 30.

Son-of-a-gun Jin, it works! Just got to page 50 for the first time since it rolled over!

Thanks man.

or, click on 'Go' in the pagination, type in the page number you want, and voila.

Ahhhhhhh.....

I feel SO dumb.

Thanks lego.

But my way has math!
