You can easily estimate how many pages back. I've wanted this many times.

But how do you know which page number to type in?
If i have small idea that a particular post is after say 50 threads then i'll skip 2 pages after the current page. Right. Or if i know the last page searched for in last session, i can directly put the desired page number and can continue reading the posts after that. Right??? Instead of clicking Last and Prev again and again user can navigate throught pages easily by this option.
I would like to hear positive responce from you. Thank you.
Best regards,
Vilas Shewale

FYI Villy I am not an official Code Project employee, I just hang around here a lot and Chris lets me bug him on IM occasionaly. In other words the buck stops with Chris, all I can do is organise CPian disobedience marches and the like
I see your suggestion is liked by quite a few members. I still do not get the point of it though. Even on other forum systems that do have this functionality I have never used it. If other CPians though think it is useful and they will use it then great, more champagne for everyone.
Chris has plenty of improvements lined up for CP, each ordered by importance. Chris may or may not have put your suggestion on the list though I imagine if he has it is not near the top of that list. Also he would have responded (he does check this forum) if there was anything definite. What I am saying is be patient and that I have nothing to do with it really

This is a good suggestion Vilas. I've always wanted some means to skip 2-3 pages (even if the posts would keep moving a little depending on the activity at the moment).

I would like to be able to change the last-visited-date manually. The reason is: if I look on CP at all, then the last-visited-date is changed to the current date/time, even if I'm only wanting to check to see if someone has replied to one post.
When I'm short on time, this makes me have to choose between:
1)not checking the forum
2)taking the time to check all forums
3)not knowing which posts are new since the last time I checked everything.
Furthermore, if I just check in to view an article, the new forum posts are then counted as old because the last-visited-date is updated.
Of course, you would certainly want the last-visited-date to be automatically updated, but it would be nice to be able to set it yourself if you wanted to.

May be... last visited time/date can be made for eah forum(s) separate!

Sometimes words and code are not enough.
For example, I have been working a z-buffer algorithm
just for the hell of it. I almost got it working.
I rotate a brightly color cube and for the most
part my z-buffer algo. works. But when certain sides
of the cube face in different ways a scanline fails
to render and when the cube is rotate 180 degrees the
top side "bleeds" through.
If I could post a screen shot of these problems I feel
that someone expereinced in graphics programming would
take on look and say something like, "Oh you are
using floor() when you should be using ceiling() when
rounding your doubles" or something like that.
Does this make any sense?
Maybe if I could post a screen shot It would be more clear

The ![]() tag is disabled so that people can't put pr0n or really big images in their post. I wouldn't mind the former, but as a modem user the latter would tick me off.

It's possible to post images without the ![]() tag. I certainly won't abuse this capability though.

Well how would I post a small screen shot?

Well I don't know if I should tell you, as I don't want someone else to post something inappropriate. Would one of the forum admins tell me whether it's alright to tell?

(Obviosuly) it can be done but that particular loophole will probably get closed, so it's not something we encourage.

I'm not an admin, but I consider it an exercise best left to the reader how to go about it. There are loopholes in everything, but it's better for all if the tricks of the trade are left to those who can figure it out. Most of the time these are the same folks who can be depended upon to use the knowledge responsibly. When they don't, and the admins close the door, we all lose a feature that is sometimes (but rarely) appropriate and fun.

What would you say if I were to post the question as a "Article"?
I am afraid that I get a bunch of messages telling me that
"sometimes scanlines don't get rendered" and "the top bleeds through"
instead of suggestions on how to correct what I am doing wrong.

I was a afraid of that.
Thanks for clarifying the matter though.

It will be immediately deleted. You're more than welcome to provide links to your own homepage with a screenshot uploaded there.

If its really that important to you, you can get one of those horrid geocities or tripod accounts to make links to.
