I sent this email to the contact us email address but it came back as undeliverable so I thought I'd post it here to see if anyone had some advice. I know most forums have a "goto page" box where one can type in a page number and jump to a page rather than advancing one page at a time through many pages of threads.

I have been perusing the 16 gauge reloading section a few pages at a time, but noticed the "goto page" link doesn't work. I cannot use it to request a specific page. That would be very handy because as it is right now I have to keep advancing one page at a time through all the pages I've already read to get to where I left off on my last session. Not too much of a deal when I was a few pages in from either end but very time consuming after getting several pages into the section. Thanks.

I see the problem, but have no idea how to fix it. The "goto" isn't highlighted red and is therefore inactive. The individual numbers that are displayed at anytime are and clicking on that number gets to the corresponding page so it is likely just a setting. I wish I knew how to correct the setting. Hopefully someone with experience on the subject will come along soon.

mart,

I don't see a simple way to go to a page in one click, but you could try this clumsy workaround:

1. Paste this link into your browser address bar, and hit return: http://16ga.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4&topicdays=0&start=0

2. Take the page number you wish to go to and subtract 1. Then take that number and multiply by 50. Then replace the zero at the end of the address above by that number. Then hit return again. You should be there.

For example, to go to page 89, replace the final zero by 4400 to look like this:
http://16ga.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4&topicdays=0&start=4400

Let us know if that works for you.

Good luck,
B.

It will take you to the reloading section if you change the 4 to a 2 after the = sign.
