Topic: Questions

I search the old files for my username and find nothing.  What am I doing wrong?
When I go to the archieves technical it say "next 1,2,3...273,274 previous" or something like that.  How can I go to page say 70 without stepping through all the nexts?
It appears that every time I submit a message the machine says that my user name is used by someone else.  So I had **.  How do i get the computer not to keep telling me my user name is already taken?

Paul: Contact Darren at dgibbons@openroad.ca
He should be able to answer your questions with respect to logging in and posting, and perhaps add a feature to allow you to jump right to a certain archived page. Good luck. Clancy

PS: if you go to the archived pages and hit on the second page ("2") and then look up in the address bar, you will see something like:
http://www.openroad.ca:/volkswebbin/viewforum.php?f=5&topicdays=0&start=50

Note the last 2 characters are "50"....If you now go up to the address bar and "edit" it to something like:
http://www.openroad.ca:/volkswebbin/viewforum.php?f=5&topicdays=0&start=3450 
you will be taken to page "70". This is due to the fact that there are 50 threads listed per page. I discovered this a few months ago and should have posted my discovery...its great if you want to "scroll" back in time quickly.  Clancy
