navigating page numbers

 

Thanks Bruce,

I¡¯ve just played with the ¡°technical¡± suggestion, and that works fine, as long as I remember what page I was on.. lol¡­ If I didn¡¯t get back to it for a few days, I¡¯d have no idea¡­ except, knowing that there are 20 messages to a page and I wanted approximately page 40 (example), I could multiply 20 by 40 and use that result and I¡¯d be pretty close.

However, your first suggestion is the one I¡¯ll go by. I¡¯ve made a folder in my bookmarks called ¡°deleting attachments¡± and made the current page a bookmark¡­ then when I¡¯ve done more deletions I¡¯ll make a bookmark for the new page and delete the old one¡­ easier on old minds¡­ lol..

?

Shal, thanks for your suggestion too, something to think about¡­ I usually have 7 or 8 tabs open, and most times I close them one at a time (when I¡¯m closing the computer down) and when I¡¯m at the last tab I close the program (Firefox)¡­ under those conditions, would your suggestion open just the last tab I had, or would it open all the tabs I previously had open as well? That would be a real pita¡­ something for me to test, I guess.

?

Thanks again to both of you.

¡¯m in the section for viewing attachments? (upgrade > view attachments), I¡¯m working my way through from oldest to newest.

I¡¯m about to go to bed and will be closing down the computer. Is there any way to jump to this same page when I start again tomorrow?

I¡¯m currently on page 31 and don¡¯t want to have to start at page 1 again and click? on the arrow to advance one page at a time to get back to 31.

Win -- Short answer:? Bookmark the page in your browser and use that to come back next morning.

Longer, more technical answer:? If you look at the URL displayed in the address bar of your browser, the query string (part after the question mark) will increment by your "items per page" setting as you advance through the list. In your case there should be a "600" as the next-to-last entry in that string...this tells groups.io to start displaying attachments at the 600th entry (base zero addressing).

If you look at this sequence of comma-separated values, the first is the items per page, the second represents the sort key, the third the starting record, and I don't know what the fourth is. Try entering different numbers and see what happens.
