How do I go dtraight to a post if I know the number? Searching doesn't help. On TMF one could just type the number in to a box, but the search routines here don't cover that.

I asked similarly at the Biscuit Bar (where this thread has ended up whilst typing this) when the post numbers first appeared viewtopic.php?p=100002#p100002.

I believe the answer is you can't search but, randomly, if you wish to find post number 1000, use:

viewtopic.php?p=1000#p1000

Thanks for that. I've never thought of looking at Biscuit Bar before, since the name didn't seem relevant to anything.

Hi Arb,

Sometimes it is helpful to look at the sub-headers which, unfortunately, are not on the individual boards as such.

Here is the "Lemon Lounge" viewforum.php?f=19 where you should see the Biscuit Bar being introduced as:

Pull up a chair, have a biscuit - discuss the site and general questions about the LemonFool

Watch out for any crumbs.

Yes, I noticed that, once I had checked, but I've never had cause to look previously. In any case, people on the HYP practical usually know so much, I don't need to post elsewhere ;)

I think one got to know the way around TMF just because there was a BoB which attracted one's attention to unusually places.
