Thanks. For the help all.
Regarding tricks, the proper way to drink oneself is through a straw. Another trick is too pull an Energizer bunny out of a Duracel top hat. Really pisses off the sponsors.

You've drunk yourself? Neat trick.
See that horizontal bar at the top of the browser window? It says something like "http://www.qbn.com/topics/64801... in it? That's your 'internet address' bar, in which you enter the location of the file or folder you want to visit on the internet. Some of these files might have modifiers on, to control the information delivered.
On QBN, the format for a page modifier is, cannily enough, 'page', and so the following format applies (I've used an example from the 'Pic of the day' thread, as it uses a lot of pages)...

Please note the last bit of text there, after the question mark.
Now, I'm not sure how you define 'instantly', but assuming you're not referring to some kind of telekineses or psychic power, I assume you'll account for the time taken to manually enter the numbers in, to change a page. So, instead of 'instant', we might be talking about 'a couple of seconds', right?
In which case, all you need do is select (using the mouse is easiest for most people) the page modifer, then enter the number of the page you wish to go to.. Et violet! You're there.

yes, in the url after the last "/" that follows the thread number add the following:
?page=
so example on the Pic of the Day thread to goto page 24:

QBN could cookie, so when you open a thread, it would automatically go to the last page you were on. Vanilla does this. (lussumo)

I'm imbibed, but is there a way to go to specify a certain page in the long threads? If a thread is 2000 pages and Iwant to go to pg 301, can it be done instantly?
