Problem w/Jump To Page on this forum

Post by sryoder »

I've been working my way back through previous postings on this maintenance forum. I was up to page 90-something when I decided to go back to page 1 for some reason. Afterwards, I tried to use the "Jump To Page" feature to return to page 90 but no-go. I enter a page number and hit "Go" but nothing happens. Anyone have any luck using this feature? If so, what the heck am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. It is broken.

It may depend on which “board style” (aka skin) you are using. I use prosilver, and when I tested the page jump button just now on my iPad, it worked fine.

Plus one one changing your board style, :)
This came up earlier this year, and it seems to work properly in Prosilver and Subsilver2 , but not in Shopsmith or Shopsmith1.

Another strategy, if you have a desktop or a laptop, is to have the forum open on more than one tab in your browser, at the same time. That way you can have one for current posts and one for the older posts. Also if you want to follow a link in a thread and not loose your place, click the link with the mouse wheel instead of left clicking and it will open in another new tab.

Switching to Prosilver worked. Fortunately, how to switch is covered in the quoted URL. Thanks.
