Tip: Reading long topics
« on: Wednesday 13 August 08 09:39 UTC (UK) »
If you want to read a topic consisting of many pages, then try this:

Instead of reading one page at a time, just click on "Print".

This does not immediately print the topic, but re-formats it as one page, ready for printing, and you can then read the whole topic, without changing pages.

This also makes it much easier to search within a topic (Ctrl-F), as the search is now on the whole topic, and not just the page in the browser.

That's a great tip - thanks Bob!

I also found that you can re-order the posts in a thread, so you can have them latest first or latest last, which might be more logical if you are reading a whole long thread.  Cheesy

You need to change your profile to do this.

I've had mine set to latest on top for ages now. I found it far more useful for long threads. It needs a bit of mental arithmetic, though, when someone refers to page # n as my page 1 is their page n, etc.
