Selecting a specific page in multiple page posts

[Aus78Formula]

I've been meaning to ask this for...years probably. Is there a certain way to select certain pages for post that contain 10+ pages?

Usually this is the case in the long running posts such as Projects following a car's progress. Some are 30-40 pages long but you can only jump forwards and backwards maybe 2 pages at a time. But what happens if I want to see again how they did this or that which I remember was about page 25, without reloading a page or two at a time, is there a quicker way?!

I know this is an old thread, but I think I might be able to help you. I know that this isn't the simplest way but would still work.

So, this is my 1st page on my build thread. Notice how the topic is 24465.0 because it is the first reply.

Each page on the thread has 15 replies, So 24465.0 would be the first reply and if you wanted the second page you would add 15 replies or 24465.15 and so on. So if you wanted to get to the 15th page, you would have to do as follows. Since the first page started at 0, you would have to take 14 times 15 = 210. Or in other words whatever page you want subtract 1 and multiply by 15 replies and add to the end of the topic you are looking at. Once you have this number just replace the 24465.0 and with 24465.210 and that will take you to page 15.

Not sure if that was clear or not, but should work for you. Hope this helps.
