something that's bothered me a lot...lets say you're going through a lengthy thread...for example the random post thread (don't know why someone would do this, but there are other threads where i've actually done it), is there a way to go to like...the middle of all the pages?

cause when the first couple links are 1, 2, 3...and then 4234,4235, 4236....its hard to get to page 2000.

know what i mean?

This is present in phpBB 3.0, but I'll see if I can write it in for the current version.

True, there is that option but it never seems to work for me. You're just really getting hammered with all these requests about the search function. :lol:

hmm... how could it not work? it works fine for me. i really should write up a guide to using the search function, if you form your queries correctly it works great.

but for some reason no one else can form their queries. to you the search is great, to us it sucks, cause we cant use it well.
