[answered] Problem with going to next page

Kevin Bacon

I think this is one of the inconveniences while alterations are underway.

YES YES YES. And the links at the top of the page to "Your posts" and "New posts" disappear and make navigating the site very difficult. You have to keep hitting the "Back" button, which is a colossal drag if you've just gone eight or nine pages deep following a topic.

are you all using IE

if so

drop it, i use Firefox, and the most i've had to deal with was one (1) of those php critical error things about two days ago

It is an issue with the ad server.

Here are 2 workarounds.
1) For multi-page topics, just click "post reply", even if you're not going to reply. Then read, just below the reply the box. That gives you most of the preceding page. If you want to read farther back than that, the second-to-last, third-to-last, etc. pages usually work just fine.
2) For single-page topics, go to the appropriate forum and select the topic one older than the one you want to go to, then click "View next topic", which is in the upper right corner. If you don't get to the topic you want, it's because a featured topic intervened. Just click "View next topic" again until you get there.

Another workaround I've found is to change the start number

blah blah...t=103717&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=120

change the 120 to 129 or 119 to see the blocked page.
