@wilyflier:
.... There is a problem with trying to relocate past posts, particularly as we are often slagged off by others for not reading from the start
...When you delete a post, permalink reference numbers of all the existing subsequent posts changes. Not only that, but if there have been several deletions, more recent posts get put back onto an earlier PAGE number.
....It becomes harder for us to keep a mental picture ,or written list, of earlier posts of relevance.Thus harder to cross refer to something vaguely remembered as having been said before.
....Is it possible for such groups as photos, or technical diagrams ,or maps.or timelines ,to be relisted and rebundled in some way , so that we can see their relationship and contradictions in one place?
.....At the very least can posts be allowed to retain their serial number? ( after all they are shown as PERMAlink)
Had the same problem in keeping track myself - so now make a note of the last poster's user name and the
time of their post (LH side of post) - then much easier to establish where you left off
FWIW
