Jumping Between Pages: Navigating Threads with Multiple Pages

AI Thread Summary
Navigating multi-page threads on mobile can be challenging, as options are limited to next, previous, and last buttons. Users can bypass this limitation by modifying the URL, adding "&page=X" to jump directly to a specific page. This method works for any page number, providing a quicker way to access content. On desktop, page numbers are visible, making navigation easier. The discussion highlights the difference in functionality between mobile and desktop versions.

Logged on with my laptop. There is definitely link for page numbers here.
It doesn't exist for mobile though. Anyways thanks for the advice of changing the URL...why didn't I think of that!

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
