Thanks very much
The primary problem with this forum is lack of anything that even resembles a proper navigation tool, like PAGES (!!!), which has worked for a thousand years and is still the best way to navigate a book or a thread.
My issue isn’t getting down to “current”, it is the God-awful lack of anything that can precisely take me to a section where an interesting post WAS. Such as , page 76 etc.
It sucks and I hate it. But you are not getting rid of me yet. I hate-love it here still, even though the forum is extraordinary inferior to the one we left (which had pages, which is again, an orderly and systematic way to know where you are in a book or a thread).
Here on this forum, I regularly skip hundreds of posts, knowing I will never read them. Why ? Because the navigation tools are unacceptably illogical and arcane and I am not scrolling through 100ds of posts. I would, if I could turn pages. But i cannot so fuck that nonsense. The forum is literally designed to kill off interaction, I have noticed. It’s like mini Snapchat this forum, where someone posts something, and then next week if you haven’t read it, it’s gone and you’ll never read it.

heh.
I would read rubbish too, if it was easy for me to do so with clears throat PAGES !
TBH, all these recent post should all be moved to the Site Feedback thread.

Fair enough.
I think @ISMF knows this is an issue though. Pretty sure many have complained about the awful navigation and lack of pages since the dawn of this forum, and I am also pretty sure ISMF said that nothing could be done because this is how the engine is like (aka datastream, instead of orderly sectioned with threads with pages, where you can find old posts with ease through the magic of the ancient sequencing of information, like adding pages to a book).
Personally, I have no idea how to find my old archived posts in the Russo-Ukrainian war thread, since I don’t want to spend lots of extra time mapping another document with dates and time posted (if I did, I could have used the useless function this forum had, and used that as “pages”, making backward searches to retrieve old posts instead of scrolling forever). Usually my brain is more than good enough for me to remember approximate page though. But no such page exists.
Anyway, it absolutely sucks, but nothing can be done with it most probably.
Every post in every thread has a number attached?
It’s the world of doom scrolling!

I have an impact wrench works far quicker, but you plebs aren’t sophisticated enough to have one!
2193/2194, it says at the far end to the right.
Somehow, this is not as easy to navigate by as when sections are segregated by pages. Because there is no way to segregate sections in “reader friendly” ways. I cannot decide that “today I am going to read 10 pages of the Brexit debate” like I sometimes did on the old forum. I even learned something once in a while. I learn a lot less without pages and such sequencing since it is just a data stream. 2193/2194 doesn’t work well for me and it’s not smooth to retrieve old posts really.
Half the reason you want pages is also because it’s less time consuming if you approximately knew where you were, to navigate by turning a page or two (the old forum also had that lovely function where you saw which page you were currently reading).
But I am crying over spilt milk anyway and this whining I am doing now does not contribute to the change I wish for, since nothing can be done anyway.
So ending the conversation on pages here.

Spanners don’t work for fixing potholes.

I don’t like it when people call me a spanner
The moderators removed that spanner recently.
