I'm not sure if we'll add this, but one trick: Go into the URL of the page you are on... like this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ersion-discussion-information.1172392/page-95
... and just type in the number at the end, like this:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ersion-discussion-information.1172392/page-45
We're working on adding this
Are you talking about the old numbers or the new numbers? I mean, I sneaked in my edit on the Mama Heating Pad thread to put in a link to the most updated way it's set up now, and a friend tested it. Reported back that the link I'd put in that edit, and had been using to put that page into posts all the way through the thread, now went to a different page completely. Um, yep it did! So I had to search the thread page after page because I no longer had any idea what page it would be on. I think the pages got reformatted during the conversion so the page numbers changed accordingly. I have my own way of putting links that I'll want to use routinely into my computer so when I found what I needed, I did my bookmark thingy and deleted the old one. One thing I haven't done yet is find one of the old posts where I refer back to that and see if that works or if it takes me to the page my unsolicited (and unpaid) tester found.
So I guess in typical Blooie fashion what I'm asking is, don't you have to KNOW the correct page number to type it into the URL like you showed? And if you have the page number based on where it was on the old platform, it could well be different on the new.
@Nifty-Chicken Edited to add: I just tested a few links in the MHP thread at random, knowing exactly where they were supposed to take me. They didn't. Different pages altogether. I'm in BiiiGGGG trouble because I'd relied on that way of linking back a lot and now people won't be going where I've sent 'em. Where's a hole in the ground when you need one? I'm gonna need one!

Thanks for looking into this, but it's not of earth shaking proportions in light of everything you want to get done yet, unless it happens to someone else. I just wanted to bring it to your attention for that day when you had nothing else to do.
