Re: Searching a topic-reply number
Check the Newbie FAQ forum. The first page has 15 Posts on it included one very long Newbie FAQ...  leading me to believe length is not an issue. |

Re: Searching a topic-reply number
Hmmmm....
Just a thought. Why 15? Much better 10 or 20.
Like using 10, the 888 post would be on page 89.
Using 15, some of us may have to use a calculator.
Although in this particular case a mathematical trick allows us to calculate it mentally as 900/15 = 60th page.

Re: Searching a topic-reply number
tbontob, are you tracing Fyron's past statments in the You-know-what thread? It's possible to have some great fun by quoting some of them and replacing 'Gore' with 'Fyron' right about now...

It is possibly 15 becuase 15 = 2^4 - 1; the forums do run on computers, and sometimes it is easier for the programmer if things get arranged around numbers that computers use naturally.

No, I haven't.
But now that you mention it...
