    Request for go-to #page-number-in-conversation in XF upgrade

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by Lifeline, Oct 29, 2018.

    Hey,

    I don't know if this would be generally wanted, but if you're looking for things to improve...

    In long PM-conversations, it's a pain in the ass to jump forward two pages at a time, until finally I reach the page where the PM is that I'm searching for.

    To give you an example: If a PM conversation has been ongoing for say three years, regularly, and there are say 400 individual messages in this one conversation, it'd be composed of about 40 pages. Say I want to re-read something which I know I wrote to the conversation partner at the 1 1/2 year mark. I'd have to press the little page button 6, and then 8, and then 10, until... many many button-presses later I'd be at page 20 where I want to be. Just to look up one specific page.

    Is there a way to add a button: 'Go to page... ' and then just write which page to go to? Or does a way exist to jump to a specific page already and I just don't know about it?

    Help? :)

    you can scroll through pages by clicking on the little arrow, you don't have to jump forward in two or fives

    1) Go to page 2.
    2) Find page=2 in your address bar.
    3) Change the 2 to 20.

    Awesome! Thank you, and that takes care of this little problem :D

    that was just the point: NOT clicking 20 times on a button ;)

    you don't click 20 times on a button, you hold it down and it scrolls to whatever page you want
