Maybe I'm missing something, but how do I get to page 45 of a topic or long thread when only "1, 2, 3....84, 85, 86 Next" are visible with no apparent place to type in "45" to get to the middle of the thread. I see this on a lot of websites lately and find it tedious to click on "Next" or "Previous" a bunch of times to get there.

Theres not really one I can think of standard with theses phpbb forums. I dont think they put one on there because theres a rare need to go through pages unless your looking through all the different ones. Most people that are looking for a certain topic mainly use the search feature.

To get to the middle of a thread, just click on the last page of the topic and divide the start parameter in the url by 2. For example, if you want to go to page 51 of thread length, set the start parameter to 750. https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3493&start=750

When the time comes, set start to (213 - 1) x 15 = 3180. tongue.gif
