Can this list be updated every once in a while? I've seen the same questions on there since I started visiting the site. I don't even look at it anymore. Also, very long threads are annoying anyway because there's no way to get to the end of, say, 100 answers, except by clicking through pages and pages - can there be a "go to end" button for questions with more than 40 answers?

Hopefully the Home page will be revamped to include new features and thereafter be updated regularly. A 'Whats New' Section of the Home Page would be very good and would save the editor having to make comments against the questions. The home page should be much more attractive and make us want to visit it every time we log into AB.

I like the "go to end" idea zgma.

The URL for each page of answers ends with ...(number).html. The page with answers 21 to 40 is called ...(number)-2.html, and the page with answers 41 to 60 is called ...(number)-3.html, etc. So to get to whichever page of answers you want, just change the URL to the appropriate number.

Aha, bernardo, you're a genius. Thanks!

Pardon??? gab. Please I don't understand Bernardo. Being totally thick on these matters - what's a URL and where do I find it, 'cos I can't see anything there to change.

The URL is the web address, like www.website.com/pagename.html. In the top of your web browser there should be a space where you can see the address of the page or enter a new one. Bernardo is talking about manually changing the end of the web address to get to the Nth page of answers. My answerbank URLs seem to work a little differently - i.e., instead of (number)-2.html etc, they have a formula like "Question63497-3.asp?Page=3" (which I didn't notice until just now) but the same principle works just fine.

bernardo

The URL for this page is http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Suggestions/Question65195. html, so if there were a second page with answers 21-40, it would be http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Suggestions/Question65195- 2.html
